In how many different ways can the top eight new indie bands be ranked on a top eight list?
I think the first question is 8 different ways because they will be ranked on a list of 8.



The top hit song for each of the eight bands will compete to receive monetary awards of $1000, $500 and $250, respectively. In how many ways can the awards be given out?
I think the second question is 8*8*8=512 ways the awards can be given out.....but I'm not sure if i did this right, please help!
