Step 1
While there is a formula to use, it is quite easy to think through the question as follows:
When we choose the first ingredient, there are 10 choices.
When we now choose the second ingredient there are 9 choices.
For the third, there are 8.
For the fourth there are 7.
Step 2
Each ingredient can be combined with the others, giving: 10 × 9 × 8 × 7 = 5 , 040 .
