If no one shares an office, in how many ways can 3 people be assigned to 5 different offices? (Each person gets exactly one office).

If we number the three people 1, 2, and 3, there are 5 offices that person 1 can be assigned to, 4 offices that person 2 can be assigned to, and 3 offices that person 3 can be assigned to. This gives us 5*4*3=60 ways to assign the three people to offices
