Short Answer

Expert verified

There are 60 ways to write a three-letter code.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

Three-letter code is to be formed using the letter A, B, C, D, and E.

Repeated letters are not allowed.

02

Step 2. Determine the possible number of codes.

We are choosing 3 letters from 5 letters and arranging them in order. In the ordered arrangement a letter cannot be repeated.

This is an example of a permutation without repetition in which 3 objects are chosen from 5 distinct objects.

P(5,3)=5!(5-3)!=5!2!=5路4路3路2!2!=60

03

Step 3. Conclusion.

There are 60 ways to write a three-letter code.
