You and six friends go to a basketball game in how many different ways can you sit in the assigned seats
There are 7 people in total, so there are 7 possible people who can sit in the first seat. After that, there are only 6 remaining people who can sit in the second seat, then 5 for the third seat, and so on. Therefore, the total number of ways you and your friends can sit in the assigned seats is:
7 x 6 x 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 5,040
So there are 5,040 different ways for you to sit in the assigned seats with your six friends.
