# Twelve flowers

A florist has roses, tulips, daffodils, and carnations to use in flower arrangements. If she were to make an arrangement using 12 flowers, how many different combinations of these 4 types of flowers would be possible?

Result

x =  455

#### Solution:

$C_{{ 12}}(15) = \dbinom{ 15}{ 12} = \dfrac{ 15! }{ 12!(15-12)!} = \dfrac{ 15 \cdot 14 \cdot 13 } { 3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1 } = 455 \ \\ n=4 \ \\ k=12 \ \\ \ \\ x={ { n+k-1 } \choose k }={ { 4+12-1 } \choose 12 }=455$

Our examples were largely sent or created by pupils and students themselves. Therefore, we would be pleased if you could send us any errors you found, spelling mistakes, or rephasing the example. Thank you!
