their are six people getting on a bus, there are 8 seats, how many different possibilities are there
---
Pick 6 seats : 8C6 = 8C2 = 28 ways
---
Arrange the six people in the 6 seats: 6! = 720 ways
------
Total # of arrangements: 28*720 = 20160
======================
OR
1st person: 8 choices
2nd person: 7 choices
3rd person: 6 choices
----
6th person: 3 choices
----
8*7*6*5*4*3 = 8P6 = 20160
=================================
