Answer 1

counting principle. 25 choices for first number, 5 for second and then another 25 for third. multiply
\[25\times 5\times 25\] for your answer

Answer 2

Answer 3

??

Answer 4

yes, much better :)

we can draw a picture for this but it gets rather larger real quick; the idea tho is tho picture 25 branches to start with, these are all of our options

each branch has 5 fingers to it for our second option (0,1,2,3,4) 25*5 = 125 so far

each of the 5 tips has 25 other fingers branching out from them; 125 * 25 each = .....

Answer 5

if my calculator is telling me the truth, id say its 3125

Answer 6

if i have from 1 to 25 dollars in my pocket my understanding of english is that i could have 1 through 25 dollars, not 2 through 24

Answer 7

attaching the picture is fine, it helps us to see if you made any typos or not :)
