<PRE><B>Question 64699</B>
Three children can get 1 box of cereal from the grocery store there are 12 boxes, how many ways can the selection be made?
---------
Pick a child: 3 ways
Pick a box: 12 ways
Pick a child: 2 ways
Pick a box: 11 ways
Pick a child: 1 way
Pick a box: 10 ways
#of ways = 3!(12*11*10)=6*1320=7920
