270725 different ways

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem tells us that the order of the letters does not matter. Therefore, in the combination the order is NOT important and is signed as follows:

C (n, r) = n! / r! (n - r) !

We have to n = 52 and r = 4

C (52, 4) = 52! / 4! * (52-4) ! = 52! / (4! * 48!) = 270725

Which means that there are 270725 different ways in total to make that raffle
