A probability question I just can't figure out. Help me please?

A florist has 12 different flowers from which floral arrangements can be made.


If a centerpiece is to be made from 5 different flowers, how many different centerpieces could be made?

A probability question I just can't figure out. Help me please?
The task is to get the number of combinations of 5 elements out of 12, so it should be C(5,12)=12*11*10*9*8/(5*4*3*2*1)=792 combinations
