So, there are letters and digits that will be used. Assume that the letters can be repeated. How many employee ID codes can be generated

Answer 1

82,944 = total possible ID's

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total number of combinations possible we need to multiply the possible choices of each value in the ID with the possible choices of the other values. Since the ID has 3 letters and 1 digit, and each letter has 24 possible choices while the digit has 6 possible values then we would need to make the following calculation...

24 * 24 * 24 * 6 = total possible ID's

82,944 = total possible ID's
