Question 1147948: A certain ice cream parlor offers fourteen flavors of ice cream. You want an ice cream cone with three scoops of ice cream, all different flavors.
In how many ways can you choose a cone if it matters which flavor is on top, which is in the middle and which is on the bottom?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Since order matters, and since you want 3 different flavors, you have 14 choices for the bottom flavor, then 13 choices for the middle, then 12 choices for the top.
By a common sense rule, the total number of different 3-flavor cones is the product of the individual numbers of choices.
Use a calculator if necessary....
