Answer:

15,120

Explanation:

The computation of the number of different routes are possible is shown below:

Since there are 5 locations for deliveries among the 9 locations that left

So, the number of routes that could be possible is


= ^9P_5\\\\= (9!)/(9-5!) \\\\= (9!)/(4!) \\\\= (9* 8* 7* 6* 5* 4!)/(4!)\\\\= 15,120
