A car license plate consists of 6 characters. The first 2 characters are any letter. The last 4 characters are odd numbers from 1 to 9 inclusive. How many different license plates are possible?

Please show your work.

Proceed along the same lines as the previous question:

You're welcome!

To calculate the number of different license plates possible, we need to find the number of choices for each character and multiply them together.

First, we will consider the choices for the first character. Since it can be any letter, there are 26 possible choices (26 letters in the English alphabet).

Next, we will consider the choices for the second character. Again, it can be any letter, so there are 26 possible choices.

For the remaining four characters, they must be odd numbers from 1 to 9. Since there are 5 odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), we have 5 choices for each of the remaining four characters (assuming repetition is allowed).

To find the total number of possible license plates, we multiply the number of choices for each character together: 26 * 26 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5.

Calculating this expression, we get: 26 * 26 * 5 * 5 * 5 * 5 = 1,690,000.

Therefore, there are 1,690,000 different license plates possible.
