The solution is just the number of ways you can choose 4 bags multiplied by the order that the marbles could be in...
6 C 4 × 4 ! = 2 ! 4 ! 6 ! × 4 ! = 2 ! 6 ! = 2 7 2 0 = 3 6 0
where 6 C 4 is the number of ways you can choose 4 bags from 6
and 4 ! is the number of ways you could arrange the marbles in those 4 bags
