The Fundamental Counting Principle states that if there are n ways to do one thing, and m ways to do another, then there are n*m ways to do both. For assigning 6 volunteers to 6 booths, the first volunteer has 6 choices, the second has 5 (since one booth is already taken), and so on, down to 1 choice for the last volunteer. This gives us 6*5*4*3*2*1 = 720 ways.
