Abelardo wants to create several different 7-character screen names.
He wants to use arrangements of the first 3 letters of his name (abe), followed by arrangements of the 4 digits in 1984, the year of his birth.
How many different screen names can be made this way?
I get the feeling this is really simple, but I don't really know how to go to it. |

abe(x)(y)(z)(a)
following abe, you only have 4 characters you can use. 1, 9, 8, and 4.
the first variable, x, can be 4 different choices..
abe(4)(y)(z)(a)
the second variable, y, can only be selected from 3 choices.
abe(4)(3)(z)(a)
and so on. so we end up with
abe(4)(3)(2)(1)
tl;dr 24 different screen names i think |

(7)(6)(5)(4)(3)(2)(1)
but thats like 5000 something i dont know |
