<PRE><B>Question 674986</B>
In how many different ways can the top nine new indie bands be ranked on a top nine list? 
Order is implied so answer is 9P9 = 9! = 362880 ways
-------------------------------------------------
The top hit song for each of the nine bands will compete to receive monetary awards of $1000, $500, $250 and $100, respectively. In how many ways can the awards be given out?
Order is implied so answer is 9P4 = 9*8*7*6 = 3024 ways
