Answer:
1,680
Step-by-step explanation:
8 positions with basically 8 choices.
that is 8! arrangements.
but 2 is there 2 times.
8 is there 2 times.
5 is there 3 times.
only 3 is a single digit.
so, we need to eliminate every arrangement, where the 2s trade places, where the 5s trade places, and where the 8s trade places, because they are the same numbers.
that means we have to divide the 8! by 2!, then again by 2!, and again by 3!.
8! / (2! × 2! × 3!) = 8! / 24 = 1,680
