To determine the number of different ways to create a number plate consisting of 3 letters followed by 4 digits, with repetition allowed:
Letters: We can use A, F, and G. This gives us 3 choices for each of the 3 letter positions. So, the total combinations for the letters is
3×3×3=3
Digits: We can use 1, 2, and 3. Similarly, this gives us 3 choices for each of the 4 digit positions. So, the total combinations for the digits is
3×3×3×3=3
Now, we combine the two results:
Total combinations = 3^7
Letters: We can use A, F, and G. This gives us 3 choices for each of the 3 letter positions. So, the total combinations for the letters is

Total combinations = 3^7
