Suppose that license plates in a certain municipality come in two forms: (1) three letters (A ... Z) followed by three digits (0 ... 9) or (2) two letters followed by four digits. How many different license plates are possible?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]24336000[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The total number of digits = 10

The total number of letters in English alphabet = 26

Now, if three letters (A ... Z) followed by three digits (0 ... 9) , then the number of different codes can be made:_

[tex]26\times26\times26\times10\times10\times10=17576000[/tex]

If two letters followed by four digits, the number of different codes can be made:_

[tex]26\times26\times10\times10\times10\times10=6760000[/tex]

Now, the total number of different license plates are possible :

[tex]17576000+6760000=24336000[/tex]

The total number of different license plates are possible[tex]=24336000[/tex]
