Last year at a certain high school, 12 students sought the nomination for president of the student body. In how many ways could the voters (student body) rank their first 5 choices

95,040 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The first position has 12 choices

The second has 11 choices (since first is filled)

The third has 10 choices

The fourth has 9 choices

The fifth has 8 choices

So the number of ways they can make the ranking will be;

12 * 11 * 10 * 9 * 8 = 95,040 ways
