Answer:
351520000
Step-by-step explanation:
351520000
Explanation:
There are 10 possible digits for the numbers (0,1,2,...,9), and 26 possible letters (A,B,C,.....,Z).
Since repetitions are allowed, we have that for each letter used, 26 still remain for the next choice, and for each digit used, 10 still remain for the next choice.
Hence, by the multiplication principle, the total different number of letter permutations is

and the total number of digit permutations is

But now since they can be in any order, we basically require in how many different ways can 3 be chosen from 6 which is the combination

So for each of the original permutations of numbers and letters, we must consider the 20 different combinations of positions they can be in.
Therefore by the multiplication principle, the total possible different number plates is
