A pizza place offers 4 different cheeses and 10 different toppings. In how many ways can a pizza be made with 1 cheese and 4 toppings?
well you will have Cheese 1st Topping 2nd Topp 3rd Top 4th topp Choice choice choice choice choice 4 x 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = so if you choose a topping from any 10, there will only be 9 choices for the 2nd topping then only 8 toppings for the 3rd choice etc. multiply it out for the number of arrangements.
850 840 830 820 these are the options.
ok... so its the above calculation divided by the number of arrangements of the 4 toppings. \[\frac{4 \times 10 \times 9\times 8 \times 7}{4 \times 3 \times 2\times 1}\]
^ That means the order in which each selection of 4 toppings is made does not matter.
so 840?
yep.. looks good
