5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120 different permutations of the letters in the word quiet.
Permutations are like combinations, only we're saying that order matters (if you're having trouble remembering which is which, think about it this way--if you're getting a perm, the order of the steps is important). So, in short, quiet is different from quite, which is different from teiuq, because the letters are in a different order.
The formula for permutations is nPr = n! over (n-r)! where n is the number of things you have to choose from and r is the number of things you're choosing. Since you're rearranging all the letters in quiet, you have 5P5 = 5! over 0!. 0! = 1 (by definition--think about it this way, how many ways can you choose 0 things? Just 1--don't pick any of them) so your problem simplifies down to just 5!, which I answered above.

How many permutations are in the word united?
UNITED = 6 letters The letters in the word UNITED did not repeat so the number of permutations = 6! = 6x5x4x3x2 =720
How many permutations are in the word math?
Since the word MATH does not have any duplicated letters, the number of permutations of those letters is simply the number of permutations of 4 things taken 4 at a time, or 4 factorial, or 24.
How many arrangements of the letters in the word SCHOOLS are there?
The number of permutations of the letters in the word SCHOOLS is the number of permutations of 7 things taken 7 at a time, which is 5040. However, since two of the letters, S and O, are duplicated, the number of distinct permutations is one fourth of that, or 1260.
What is the number of distinguishable permutations of the letters in the word oregon?
360. There are 6 letters, so there are 6! (=720) different permutations of 6 letters. However, since the two 'o's are indistinguishable, it is necessary to divide the total number of permutations by the number of permutations of the letter 'o's - 2! = 2 Thus 6! ÷ 2! = 360
