# choices for the first letter: 24 (can't use I or O)
# choices for the second letter: 23 (can't be I or O, and must be different than the first)
# choices for the third letter: 22 (can't be I or O, and must be different than the first and second)
# choices for the first digit: 9 (can't be 0)
# choices for the second digit: 10 (no restrictions)

By the fundamental counting principle, the number of possible license plates is the product of the numbers of choices for each character.

ANSWER: 24*23*22*9*10
