This is a combination problem. The customer is choosing 2 cupcakes out of 8, and the order in which the cupcakes are chosen doesn't matter.

The formula for combinations is C(n, k) = n! / [k!(n-k)!], where n is the total number of options, k is the number of options chosen, and "!" denotes a factorial, which means multiplying all positive integers up to that number.

Here, n = 8 (the total types of cupcakes) and k = 2 (the number of cupcakes chosen).

So, C(8, 2) = 8! / [2!(8-2)!]

= (8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1) / [(2*1)*(6*5*4*3*2*1)]

= (8*7) / (2*1)

= 28

So, a customer can purchase 28 different 2-cupcake orders.
