You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I am assuming that no one is running for two or three different positions at the same time.
\n" ); document.write( "The choices for the three positions are independent.
\n" ); document.write( "There are 3 ways to chose the President.
\n" ); document.write( "For each one of those choices, you still have four different ways to choose a Vice President.
\n" ); document.write( "That gives you \"3%2A4=12\" ways to chose President plus Vice President.
\n" ); document.write( "For each of those 12 choices, you still have 7 ways to choose a secretary,
\n" ); document.write( "so there are \"3%2A4%2A7=84\" ways to chose the set of 3 class officers.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
