Answer:

There are 1757600 possibilities.

Explanation:

In a certain state, fishing licenses are in the form of LLL NN

L stands for a letter of the alphabet (a to z)

N stands for a one-digit number from 0 to 9.

Now, for the series LLL, 3 alphabets are placed that can be any from a to z. This means at each place, 26 letters can be placed.

Similarly, for NN, 2 numbers are placed that can be any, between 0 and 9. At each place 0 to 9 can be placed.

Hence, the total possible outcomes will be :


26*26*26*10*10=1757600

Therefore the answer is 1757600 possibilities.
