Practice makes perfect
We have to choose members for the Junior Student Council. There are 3 people running for secretary, 4 people running for treasurer, 5 people running for vice president (VP), and 2 people running for class president. Since the number of possible elections results is related to the number of options we have, we can use the Fundamental Counting Principle.

Therefore, the number of possible election results with one secretary chosen, one treasurer chosen, one vice president chosen, and one president chosen is the product of these four values. 3 * 4 * 5 * 2 = 120
