 A DE license plate starts with a digit other than 0, followed by two capital letters, followed by three more digits (0 through 9). 
a) How many different DE plates are possible? 
9*26*26*10^3 = 6084000
-----------------------------------
b) How many different DE plates start with a 4 and =  end with a 9? 
1*26^2*10^2*1 = 67600
--------------------------
c) How many DE plates have no repeated symbols?
9*26*25*9*8*7 = 25628400
(all digits and letters are different)
