Using the Fundamental Counting Theorem, it is found that it could issue 6,760,000 plates.
Fundamental counting theorem:
States that if there are n things, each with [tex]n_1, n_2, …, n_n[/tex] ways to be done, each thing independent of the other, the number of ways they can be done is:
[tex]N = n_1 \times n_2 \times \cdots \times n_n[/tex]
In this problem:
Then, applying the theorem:
[tex]N = 26^2 \times 10^4 = 6760000[/tex]
It could issue 6,760,000 plates.
