Question 250305: 8 people are having a party. Two are to be chosen to go out and get pizzas. How many different ways can you choose two people? Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The 1st choice is 1 of 8.
The 2nd is 1 of 7.
8*7 = 56
But choosing A and B is the same as B and A, so divide by 2.
--> 28 possibilities
