Answer

$840$

Work Step by Step

Use the formula $P(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!}$. Here, $n=7$ and $r=4$ so substitute these values into the formula above to obtain: $P(7,4)=\dfrac{7!}{(7-4)!}\\\\ P(7,4)=\dfrac{7!}{3!}\\\\ P(7,4)=\dfrac{7{\times}6{\times}5{\times}4{\times}3{\times}2{\times}1}{3{\times}2{\times}1}$ Cancel out common factors to get: $P(7,4) =7\times6\times5\times4\\ P(7, 4) =840$
