To determine the number of ways they can be chosen, we need to calculate the number of permutations (order matters) for each position.
For the president position, there are 8 possible candidates.
For the vice president position, there are 7 remaining candidates after one is chosen for the president position.
For the treasurer position, there are 6 remaining candidates after two have been chosen for the president and vice president positions.
The total number of ways to choose the president, vice president, and treasurer is found by multiplying the number of candidates for each position:
8 * 7 * 6 = 336.
Therefore, there are 336 different ways they can be chosen.
