One situation could be: \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There are 6 people running for 3 different positions: president, vice president, treasurer. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To determine how many different permutations are possible, you would compute \"+p%286%2C3%29+\" using this formula\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"p%28n%2Cr%29+=+%28n%21%29%2F%28%28n-r%29%21%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
