You can put this solution on YOUR website! A school commitee has one school vice-principal, three student council members and two teachers.
-------------------------------------
How many possible committees could be formed with three vice-principals, eight student council members and eighty teachers?
----
# of ways to choose 1 vp: 3C1 = 3
# of ways to choose 3 sc: 8C3 = (8*7*6)/(1*2*3) = 56
# of ways to choose 2 t: 80C2 = (80*79)/(1*2) = 3160
------------------------------
# of possible committees = 3*56*3160
=======================================
Cheers,
