Question

There are 6 different colored pens in a box. Each pen has a unique color. In how many orders can 4 pens be chosen? In other words, what is the number of permutations of picking 4 pens from the box?

Answer 1

Answer:

360 different permutations.

Step-by-step explanation:

It goes 6*5*4*3 because as you pick the pens the amount of pens in the jar would obviously decrease. Picking one leaves you with 5 new options. If you repeat that 4 times then you are left with 360 options.
