Question

A state makes license plates with five letters followed by one number with no repetitions of the letters permitted. How many different possibilities are there

Answer 1

78936000 possible selections

Explanation:

Given

Letters = 5

Digits = 1

Required

Possible number of selection.

Since the letters can't be repeated and there are 26 alphabets.

The first letter can be any of 26

The second = 25

The third = 24

The fourth = 23

The fifth = 22

The digit can be any of 0 - 9 (10 digits).

So.

The possible number of selection is.

Number = 26 * 25 * 24 * 23 * 22 * 10

Number = 78936000
