A California license plate starts with a digit other than 0 followed by three capital letters followed by three digits (0 through 9). How many different California license plates are possible?

Answer provided by our tutors

The first position has 9 options, the digits {1,2,...,9}.


The English alphabet has 26 letters thus the number of possibilities for three capital letters are:26*26*26.


The last three digits have: 10*10*10 possibilities.


9*26*26*26*10*10*10 = 158,184,000


There are 158,184,000 different California license plates are possible.
