How many license plates can be made using 3 letters followed by 2 digits?

To calculate the number of license plates with 3 letters followed by 2 digits, we consider that there are 26 letters in the English alphabet and 10 digits (0-9). For the letters, there are (26^3) combinations, and for the digits, there are (10^2) combinations. Therefore, the total number of license plates is (26^3 \times 10^2 = 17,576,000).
