A license plate is made of three letters and three numbers. How many different license plates are possible? (Recall there are 26 letters in the alphabet and 10 single digit numbers 0-9).

Using the permutations formula, it is found that: 11,232,000 different license plates are possible

----------------------------------------------------

The order in which the letters and the numbers appear is important(123ABC is a different plate than A123BC), which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

----------------------------------------------------

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

----------------------------------------------------

In this question:

Thus:

11,232,000 different license plates are possible
