Answer:
A person can select 3 coins from a box containing 6 different coins in 120 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total choices = n = 6
no. of selections to be made = r = 3

Using the formula of Permutation:
nPr =
We can find all possible ways arranging 'r' number of objects from a given 'n' number of choices.
Order of coin is important means that if we select 3 coins in these two orders:
--> nickel - dime - quarter
--> dime - quarter - nickel

Calculating the no. of ways 3 coins can be selected from 6 coins.
nPr = =
nPr = 120
