Question 1101051: Please help.
A license plate is to have five uppercase letter or digits. Determine the number of license plates possible if repetition is permitted and if any position can contain either a letter or digit with the exception that the first position cannot contain the letter O or the number 0.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
26+10=36 possible digits or numbers
Since the first number cannot be 0 or o, we have:
34*(36)^4, or 57,106,944 different plates possible
