How many permutations can be made with the letters in the word Metallica

Explanation:

There are 9 letters in "Metallica", so there would be 9! = 9*8*7*6*5*4*3*2*1 = 362880 different permutations; however, this is only the case if we could tell the letters L and A apart.

We have two copies of each of those repeated letters, so we have to divide by 2!*2! = (2*1)*(2*1) = 4 to account for these repeats.

Because we can't tell the repeated letters apart, we really have (9!)/(2!*2!) = (362880)/(4) = 90720 different permutations.

for the points! : )

a) 0.25x times 3. (could be wrong on equation.)

b) 2.25 pound of dark chocolate. (can i eat all the chocolate? plz? anyway, again, could be wrong, but i hope im right. all the chocolate together should be 5.25 pounds)

have a good day!
