how many different arrangements can be made from the letters of the word purchase if each arrangement must begin with a consonant and end with a vowel?
-----------------------------------------
# of consonants: 5
# of vowels: 3
-----------------------
# of arrangements = 5*3*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 15*6! = 10800
