The number of different selections of flowers he can make is 1053.

To find the number of different selections of flowers he can make the following calculation must be performed:

  • 17 x 13 + 9 x 7 + 7 x 7 = X
  • 17 x 15 + 9 x 6 + 7 x 6 = Y
  • 17 x 17 + 9 x 5 + 7 x 5 = Z
  • X + Y + Z = Total
  • 333 + 351 + 369 = Total
  • 1053 = Total

Therefore, the number of different selections of flowers he can make is 1053.
