Answer:

84

Explanation:

There are 9 pieces of luggage.

We can select the first piece 9 different ways, the second piece 8 different ways, since there are only 8 pieces left. The third piece can be selected 7 different ways.

9*8*7

504

But order doesn't matter since we are taking 3 pieces.

Divide by (3*2*1)

504/6 = 84

There are 84 different combinations of luggage
