Answer:

175,760,000 different California license plates can be made.

Explanation:

Possible outcomes for each number of letter:

10 numbers(from 0 to 9) and 26 letters.

Format of the plate:

Number - letter - letter - letter - number - number - number

The numbers of possible outcomes are:

10 - 26 - 26 - 26 - 10 - 10 -10

How many different plates?

We multiply these values. So

10*26*26*26*10*10*10 = 175,760,000

175,760,000 different California license plates can be made.
