Answer 1

Given:

There are 5 numbers followed by 2 letters.

Solution:

To find the answer, we will have a plate number that consists of 5 numbers followed by 2 letters. In that 5 numbers, each place has 10 choices-from 0 to 9. It will be: 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 100,000 .

Now, for the letters, there are 26 letters in the alphabet. We have two places for the letters and each place have 26 choices-from A to Z that will give us: 26 * 26 = 676

We will now multiply the acquired data for both the numbers and letters to arrive at the correct answer.

100,000 * 676 = 67,600,000

ANSWER: 67,600,000 possible license plates
