To calculate the different arrangements of the letters in the word "APPLE," we first recognize that it contains 5 letters where 'P' is repeated twice. The formula for finding the number of unique arrangements of a set of items, where some items are identical, is given by the factorial of the total number of items divided by the factorial of the number of identical items. Here, the calculation would be:<|im_end|>

The number of ways to arrange the letters in "APPLE" is simply calculated by multiplying 5 by 4 by 3 by 2 by 1, which gives you 120. Since there are 2 P's, just ignore one of them. So, the answer is 60. This method is straightforward, but it doesn't clarify why we divide by the factorial of the repeated letter, making it less informative for someone trying to grasp the full concept of letter arrangements.<|im_end|>
