An ice cream shop has 20 flavors. If Louis wants a double scoop cone, how many different flavor combinations can he get? Assume that he wants different flavors for each of the scoops. (Hint: the order matters here since the cone will be different if the flavors are in a different order)

4 ways to choose the 1st block  * 3 ways to choose the 2nd * 2 ways to choose the  3rd * 1 way to choose the last  =  4 * 3 * 2 * 1   = 24

We have 10 people and we  wish to choose any  3 of them....so...10C3  = 120  different  committees

We  can choose   2 flavors  from 20  and order these in 2 ways...so

 

20C2  * 2   =  190 * 2   = 380 combos
