Question

a pharmaceutical company is going to issue new ID codes to its employees. Each code will have three letters followed by one digit. The letter H and I and the digits 2, 4, 6, and 8 will not be used. So, there are 24 letters and 6 digits that will be used. Assume that the letters can be repeated. How many employee ID codes can be generated.

Answer 1

4 because 6*4 =24

Explanation:

Answer 2

In order to calculate how many codes can be generated, let's find out the number of possible values for each letter and number:

- First letter: 24 possible values

- Second letter: 24 possible values

- Third letter: 24 possible values

- Number: 6 possible values

Now, to find the number of codes, we just need to multiply the number of possible values of each letter and number. So we have:

`24\cdot24\cdot24\cdot6=82944`

So there is a total of 82,944 codes that can be generated.
