A license plate is to consist of three digits followed by two uppercase letters. Determine the number of different license plates possible if repetition of numbers and letters is not permitted.
-----------------------
Pick three digits with repetition: 10^3 ways
pick three letters with repetition: 26^3
------------------------
# of licence plates = 10^3 * 26^3 = (260)^3 = 17,576,000

26 letters * 25 letters * 10 numbers * 9 numbers * 8 numbers = 468,000
You cannot use the same number twice and you cannot use the same letter twice.
