Question

How many different permutations can be created when anne, Becky,Carlo, dan and Esi line up to buy movie tickets, if Esi always stand behind becky?

Answers

If Esi is always behind Becky, we have only 4 independent choices for each position.
So for the first position, there are 4 choices, for the second, 3 choices left, then 2, then 1.
The number of permutations is the product of the 4 numbers.
