Question

Bonita, her date, and eight of her friends gathered at her house before the spring formal dance. they have to figure out who is going to ride to the dance in each car. if it is important to them where they sit and who sits with them, how many different arrangements of four people can go in the red convertible?

Answer 1

So there are 10 people in total.
So for the first seat, there are 10 choices of people. For the second seat, there are only 9 choices (one person is already seated). For the third there are 8 choices, and for the fourth there are 7 choices.
So in total there are 10x9x8x7 = 5040 ways.
