Suppose that you have 3 red Jolly Ranchers, 6 yellow Jolly Ranchers, 1 green Jolly Ranchers, and you are hanging out with 10 friends. Assuming that the Jolly Ranchers of the same color are indistinguishable, how many ways can you give one Jolly Rancher to each of your friends? This is a discrete math problem so we might have to use permutation.
