In how many ways can a person order one ice cream cone with 3 different flavors of ice cream if there are 7 flavors to choose from and it matters to the person how the flavors are stacked on the cone? That is, which flavor is on the top,middle,and bottom
To solve this problem, we can use the concept of permutations.
Since there are 7 flavors to choose from, the person has 7 options for the first (top) flavor, then 6 options for the second (middle) flavor, and finally 5 options for the third (bottom) flavor.
So, the total number of ways a person can order one ice cream cone with 3 different flavors of ice cream is 7 * 6 * 5 = 210 ways.
