Question 342473: how many ice cream arrangements are possible on a two scoop cone if 10 flavors are offered? one to one correspondence problem

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The first scoop can be one of 10 flavors.
The second scoop can be one of 10 flavors.
So there are 10%2A10=100 ways to make two scoops.
As long as you are fine with the idea that a scoop of (let's say) chocolate on top of vanilla is a different cone than a scoop of vanilla on top of chocolate, then the answer is 100.
If you think a cone with vanilla and chocolate is the same regardless of which scoop is on top, then look here for the correct formula. See the combination section

I would say 100
