10-125.
Andrea has just purchased a five-digit combination lock. It allows her to set up her own combination. She can use the numbers 0 through 9 for her combination, and she must use five digits.
How many five-digit combinations can she make so that no digit is repeated?
There are no repeats, but order does matter.
10P5 = 30,240
How many five-digit combinations are possible if she can repeat the digits, but cannot use the same digit twice in a row?
Now she has ten choices for each digit.
