A fish tank at a pet store has 8 zebra fish. In how many different ways can Nikki choose 3 zebra fish to buy?

(Can you guys both tell me what the answer is and how to do this? Thanks!)

Respuesta :

There are 336 different possible combinations. To get this answer, you simply multiply the number of fish left in the tank for that "turn" so in this case it would be 8*7*6 because you start with 8 on the first turn, then you have 7 left, then 6. If you need a better explanation let me know.
