A restaurant has 15 menu items. If you want to choose a specific meal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Question

how many different ways can this be done ?

Answer 1

* Assuming you can only choose one menu item per meal and you can't choose the same item for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

 

15*14*13 = 2730 ways

 

It's a Permutation; choosing three meals from a set of 15 choices = P(15,3)
