I guess its a permutation cauz it says exactly one person receives A. So order matter

Its not a homework. I try it bymyself first than ask a question for suggestion
And the most distinguishing part for the graded students: The ORDERING of the students having Grade A is not defined in any manner.
COMBINATION! (No Repetition Type)
This is certainly a permutation problem:

   ABBBBBB    is not the same as   BBBABBB   or   BBBBBBA

But the answer is NOT going to be in the form   P(m, n).

Try to think logically, and restate the problem:

How many ways are there to distribute one A among seven students?
How many ways are there to distribute B's, C's, and D's to the other six?
