Answer:
1140 ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable formula is: (n +r - 1)C(r-1), where n is the number of identical items (the candies), and r is the possible number of recipients (the kids).
The 17 identical candies, can be distributed among the 4 children in :
=(17 + 4 - 1)C(4–1) = 20C3 ways.
= 20!/((20–3)!*3!) ways.
= 20*19*18*17!/(17!*(3*2*1)) = 20*19*18/6 ways
= 20*19*3 ways.
=1140 ways.
