Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: Tiffany is packing her bags for her vacation. She has [tex]8[/tex] unique toy animals, but only [tex]4[/tex] fit in her bag.

TO FIND: How many different groups of [tex]4[/tex] toy animals can she take.

SOLUTION:

Total unique toy animal Tiffany has [tex]=8[/tex]

Total animal that fit in her bag [tex]=4[/tex]

Now,

Tiffany has to select [tex]4[/tex] toy animals from [tex]8[/tex] animals.

                                                                       [tex]=\frac{8!}{4!4!}[/tex]

                                                                       [tex]=70[/tex]

Hence Tiffany has 70 different ways to select group of 4 unique toys.
