    676,000 possibilities.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    There is nothing stating that the letters and numbers can't be repeated, so all

    26

    letters of the alphabet and all

    10

    digits can be used again.

    If the first is A, we have

    26

    possibilities:

    AA, AB, AC, AD, AE ... AW, AX, AY, AZ.

    If the first is B, we have

    26

    possibilities:

    BA, BB, BC, BD, BE ... BW, BX, BY, BZ

    And so on for every letter of the alphabet.

    There are

    26

    choices for the first letter and

    26

    choices for the second letter. The number of different combinations of 2

    letters is:

    26

    *

    26

    =

    676

    The same applies for the three digits.

    There are

    10

    choices for the first,

    10

    for the second and

    10

    for the third:

    10

    *

    10

    *

    10

    =

    1000

    So for a license plate which has

    2

    letters and

    3

    digits, there are:

    26

    *

    26

    *

    10

    *

    10

    *

    10

    =

    676,000 possibilities.
