you could try:
select count(*) from ( SELECT to_char(pa_shopping_cart.delivery_date, 'FMMM/FMDD/YY') AS delivery_date,
pa_products.product_nameAS product_name, pa_orders.order_state AS state, count(*) AS count FROM
pa_shopping_cart, pa_products, pa_orders WHERE pa_shopping_cart.order_id = pa_orders.order_id AND
pa_shopping_cart.product_id= pa_products.product_id GROUP BY pa_shopping_cart.delivery_date,
pa_products.product_name, pa_orders.order_state
) original_query
