Question 1108546: License plates for private cars and PUVs have 3 letters followed by 4 numbers, while those for private motorcycles have 2 letters followed by 5 numbers. If the same letter or number can be repeated, how many can be made? Found 2 solutions by math_helper, Alan3354:Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Private cars and PUVs:
3 letters —> possible arrangements
4 numbers —> possible arrangements
Total possible plates for private cars and PUVs:
——————————————
For motorcycle plates, follow the same logic.

EDIT: Yes, I should have multiplied not added, so 175760000 as Alan said. Thanks to Alan and apologies to the student.

-------------------
3 letters followed by 4 numbers
Assuming 0000 is allowed, and no lower case letters:
--> 26*26*26*10*10*10*10
= 175,760,000
