Question

Cher has forgotten the combination to her locker. She knows it consists of four numbers -- 3, 5, 7, and 9 -- but she can't recall the order. She decides to try every possible order until she gets the right one.

How many possible orders are there?

Answer 1

im pretty sure its 256. These r permutations right

Answer 2

Four possibilities for the first number.

Four possibilities for the second number

Therefore, 4x4 = 16 possibilities for the first two numbers.

Four possibilities for the third number

Therefore, 16x4 = 64 possibilitites for the first three numbers.

I think you can now see what the total number of arrangements of all four numbers will be.

Answer 3

The Correct Answer is: 24 orders
