2. how many license plates can by made using either three uppercase english letters followed by three digits or four uppercase english letters followed by two digits?

Respuesta :

There would be 63,273,600 and 43,524,000 license plates, if repetition is allowed, and not, respectively that can be made using either three uppercase English letters followed by three digits or four uppercase English letters followed by two digits.

Based on the given information, a license plate may either be:

1. three uppercase English letters followed by three digits

26 ways to fill in the first, second, and third letter and

10 ways to fill in the first, second, and third digit

2. four uppercase English letters followed by two digits

26 ways to fill in the first, second, third, and fourth letter and

10 ways to fill in the first and second digit

Thus, by Fundamental Principle of Counting, there are 63,273,600 possible license plates, if repetition is allowed, and 43,524,000 possible license plates, if repetition is not allowed.

(with repetition)

1.  26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 17,576,000

2. 26 x 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 = 45,697,600

17,576,000 + 45,697,600 = 63,273,600

(without repetition)

1.  26 x 25 x 24 x 10 x 9 x 8 = 11,232,000

2. 26 x 25 x 24 x 23 x 10 x 9 = 32,292,000

11,232,000 + 32,292,000 = 43,524,000
