Please help! Will give fan and medal. To create an entry code, you must choose 3 letters and then, 5 single-digit numbers. How many different entry codes can you create? Thank you in advance! :)

heya so split it into each letter or number, and work out how many combinations for each then multiply out

OpenStudy (ray1998):

Sorry, what? I don't understand.

OpenStudy (jack1):

example, if your code was 2 letters, then 2 numbers: eg AB12 split it A = 26 letters in alphabet, so 26 possibilities B = 26 letters in alphabet, so 26 possibilities 1 = 10 possible numbers, so 10 possibilities 2 = 10 possible numbers, so 10 possibilities = 26 x 26 x 10 x 10

OpenStudy (jack1):

that make more sense?

OpenStudy (ray1998):

Soooo, for mine it would be: 26*26*26*10*10*10*10*10 ?

OpenStudy (jack1):

perfect :)

OpenStudy (ray1998):

And whatever those equal up to is the final answer? :)

OpenStudy (jack1):

yep, whatever that equals is the total number of combinations

OpenStudy (ray1998):

Alrighty, thank you very much!!! :)

OpenStudy (jack1):
