Question

If an ice cream store has 4 different flavors, Apple, Blueberry, Cantaloupe, and Duck.

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cones

24 cones

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If order doesn't matter, we usually use combinations. In this case, we have 4 different flavors, and we're just choosing 3 of them:

4C3 = $\frac{4!}{3! * 1!}$ = 4 cones

2. If order does matter, we use permutations. In this case, we have 4 flavors and we want 3 from them:

4P3 = 4 * 3 * 2 = 24 cones
