The Downtown Theater has 1 ticket window. In how many ways can 4 people

line up to buy tickets?

1 answer

There are 4 people who can line up at the first position, but then only 3 people left to line up at the second position, only 2 people left to line up at the third position, and finally only 1 person left for the last position. Therefore, the total number of ways for 4 people to line up in a queue is:

4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 24 ways.
