Answer: 1757600 license plates

Explanation: Since there are 26 different letters in the alphabet, A through Z, there are 26 options for the first letter, 26 options for the second letter, and 36 options for the third letter.

Since there are 10 different numbers, 0 through 9, there are 10 options for the first number and 10 options for the second number.

Now to determine how many license plates that can be created that contain 3 letters and 2 numbers, we use the fundamental counting principle which tells us that we multiply 26 x 26 x 26 x 10 x 10 to get 1757600 different license plates.
