) in how many ways can 5 ice cream toppings be chosen from 12 available toppings

Answer 1

12*11*10"9*8 whatever that turns out to be lol

Answer 2

Assuming that the order of the five chosen toppings does not matter, the number of combinations is given by: $12C5=\frac{12!}{7!5!}=\frac{12\times11\times10\times9\times8}{5\times4\times3\times2\times1}=792$
The answer is: 792 ways
