    30,240 ways, if I am restricted to using A, B, and C for letters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This uses Combinatorics from Discrete Math.

    so.

    3 letters and 4 digits.

    26 letters from alphabet, but you want to choose first letters. no repeats ...

    Does this mean only letters A, B, and C?

    digits from 10 digits ...

    I imagine 7 empty slots, and the number of ways they occur together is by the product of the number of choices each box has.

    3*2*1 * 10*9*8*7 = 6 * 5040 = 30,240 ways
