Correspondingly, what is the formula for nCr?

The formula for combinations is nCr = n! / r! * (n - r)!, where n represents the number of items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time. John is selecting three toppings from the eight offered by Pizza King.

Secondly, what is the difference between permutation and combination? The difference between combinations and permutations is ordering. With permutations we care about the order of the elements, whereas with combinations we don't. For example, say your locker “combo” is 5432. If you enter 4325 into your locker it won't open because it is a different ordering (aka permutation).

People also ask, what is the difference between nPr and nCr?

Otherwise known as the binomial coefficient. If you really mean NCR = National Cash Register, and NPR = National Public Radio…

How many unique combinations are there?

Explanation: The fundamental counting principle says that if you want to determine the number of ways that two independent events can happen, multiply the number of ways each event can happen together. In this case, there are 5 * 7, or 35 unique combinations of pants & shirts Mark can wear.
