Question 6 • Pre-Algebra B

Geraldine is picking a four-digit password by using the digits 0 through 9. She can use each digit only once. How many different passwords are possible?

Answer
A
34
B
40
C
5,040
D
10,000

Explanation

For the first position, Geraldine can choose any of the 10 digits. Since each digit can be used only once, there are then 9 choices for the second position, 8 for the third, and 7 for the fourth. Thus, 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 5,040 different passwords, which is choice C.
