How do I solve this problem: How many different combinations of 4 shirts can you pack for a trip if you have 15 shirts?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

Choose 4, not 3.

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

\[15!\over{4!(15-4)!}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, so I can apply \[C =n!\div r!(n-r)!\] ?

OpenStudy (kinggeorge):

That's the correct formula to use in this case.

Cool, thanks!
