    Na = 720 - 120 = 600 ways

    The 3 people can arrange themselves in 600 possible ways.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    For at least one of the three friends to seat on an aisle seat, the number of possible arrangements can be given as;

    Na = Nt - Nn ... 1

    Where;

    Na = number of possible arrangements with at least one of the seating on an aisle seat.

    Nt = total number of possible arrangements for the three friends

    Nn = number of possible arrangements with none of the three friends seating on an aisle seat.

    Given;

    Total number of seats available = 10

    Total number of aisle seats available = 4

    Total number of people = 3

    So;

    Nt = 10C3 = 10*9*8 = 720

    Nn = (10-4) C3 = 6C3 = 6*5*4 = 120

    From equation 1;

    Na = 720 - 120 = 600 ways

    The 3 people can arrange themselves in 600 possible ways.
