I'm having a really hard time wrapping my head around this one...
QUESTION:
There are 8 contestants who are going to be awarded 4 travel package prizes: Bermuda, Paris, Honolulu, and another Honolulu (i.e. two of the four packages are the same). In how many unique ways can these 8 contestants be awarded these travel packages, taking into consideration that two of them are the same?
My Answer (I don't know if it's right):
8! / 4! 2! = 840
