Answer:

3 ways

Explanation:

Given that Annie, Becca, Carlos, and Dante are exchanging graduation presents and Everyone brings one present and leaves with a different one.

Let A,B,C and D represent Annie, Becca, Carlos, and Dante presents respectively.

Since Dante already left with Becca's present already.

The possible ways to sharing the presents without going against the stated rule is;

Ways : 1. 2. 3. (Number of ways.)

Annie : C D C

Becca : A C D

Carlos : D A A

Dante : B B B

Therefore, there are three possible ways of distributing the rest of the gifts.
