Um, does anyone also understand this? Abelardo wants to create several different 7-character screen names. He wants to use arrangements of the first 3 letters of his name (abe), followed by arrangements of 4 digits in 1984, the year of his birth. How many different screen names can he create in his way?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Total number of screen names possible: 6*24 = 144

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

# of arrangements of abe: 3! = 6 ---- # of arrangements of 1984: 4! = 24
