License plates are made using 3 letters followed by 2 digits. how many plates can be made if repetition of letters and digits is allowed?

a)1,757,600
b)11,881,376c)100,000
d)175,760

option B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 spaces in the license plate:

_ _ _ _ _

we have 26 available letters, and 10 available numbers.

starting with letters:

26 _ _ _ _

26 26 _ _ _

26 26 26 _ _

we've used all the places for letters, (note: the exact position of the letters doesn't matter here, the first letter could've been placed anywhere in _ _ _ _ _, but the amount of possible choices for letters would always be 26).

let's move on to numbers.

26 26 26 10 _

26 26 26 10 10

we've completed our number plate. Next we'll simply multiply all these numbers to get all the possible arrangements in which numbers and letters can be displayed on a license place.
