Problem
A club has 15 members and needs to choose 2 members to be co-presidents. In how many ways can the club choose its co-presidents?
Solution
If the co-president positions are unique, there are 15 choices for the first president and 14 choices for the second president. However, since the positions are identical, we must divide by , since counts each possible pair of co-presidents twice, once for each order in which they are selected. This gives us ways to choose the co-presidents.
Final answer
105
