Answer:

Colin can do this is 272 ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first counter goes to Obi and the second to Zeema, so the order is important. This means that we use the permutations formula to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}

In this question:

Two counters from a set of 17. So

P_{(17,2)} = \frac{17!}{(17-2)!} = 272

Colin can do this is 272 ways.
