Question

Sharel decided to buy a charm bracelet for her mother. She buys 10 charms for the bracelet. How many arrangements of charms are there?

Answer 1

3,628,800 arrangements

Explanation:

Permutation has to do with arrangement.

The number of ways to arrange n objects is expressed as:

n! = n(n-1)(n-2).... (n-r)!

If Sharel buys 10 charms for the bracelet, the number of ways the charms can be arranged is 10! ways

10! = 10*9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1

10! = 720*840*6

10! = 3,628,800 arrangements

Hence there are 3,628,800 arrangements of charms
