Answer:

282240 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

number of items = 9 different items

Ranking based on worth

<u>determine number of ways to arrange the 9 items such that the 2 most expensive are apart</u>

first step: consider the 2expensive items as 1

∴ number of permutation = [ ( 9 - 2 ) + 1 ]!  * 2!

                                          = [ 8 ] ! * 2!  = 80640

Total number of permutation/arrangement = 9! = 362880

hence to arrange the 9 items without having the two most expensive items together

= 362,880 - 80640

= 282240 ways
