Given the information as contained in the image;


\begin{gathered} Since\text{ repetition is allowed;} \\ The\text{ first character has 5 possible choices}\rightarrow5 \\ The\text{ second character has 26 possible choices}\rightarrow26 \\ The\text{ third character has 26 possibles choices}\rightarrow26 \\ The\text{ fourth character has 10 possible choices}\rightarrow10 \\ The\text{ fifth character has 10 posible choices}\rightarrow10 \end{gathered}

To determine the number of possible license plates in the state;


5*26*26*10*10=338000

The answer is 338000.
