Using the fundamental counting theorem, it is found that 17,576,000 different license plates can be manufactured.
Fundamental counting theorem:
States that if there are n things, each with [tex]n_1, n_2, \cdots, n_n[/tex] ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:
[tex]N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n[/tex]
In this problem:
Then:
[tex]N = 26^3 \times 10^3 = 17576000[/tex]
17,576,000 different license plates can be manufactured.
