Thank you all.

Yes I did, it gave me the same answer.

Thanks for helping just wanted to confirm the solution would be: 15!/ (3! * 7! * 5!) Right?

Thanks a lot (I am assuming this would be the answer to the question). I will try to determine that number will get back to you soon.

I am not really sure if I get the question, so I would not try to answer it as any answer I give will be a guess. But I am assuming you meant "How many of the 15! are the same?" am I right.

7!, 3! and 5!

I am pretty sure it mean how many ways can the bonus be distributed to 15 people.

That would be same as 'How many possibilities are there for who to give the bonus first?" right? so 3!

The answer would be 15! 15C7, 15C3, and 15C5 am I correct?

The total of number of ways the bonuses can be distributed = 1515 So does this mean that "How many orders of giving out bonuses exist?" = 15? Or does 'How many orders of giving out bonuses exist' = 'Total number of ways'

I was going to reply to your comments but decided to have a more in depth think about it as I am having a massive headache thinking about it. I just want to say thanks and hopefully when I get my thought together, I would have solved it.

My problem when it comes to Combination and Permutation is that I have issue seeing/creating the logic. Here was my logic when creating that formula. 1. Out of 15 people, 7 will receive $100. 2. Since 7 out of 15 people will get $100, 8 candidates are left and 3 will receive $1000. 3. lastly...

My mistake, 65C1 should not be there.
