Danika Long · Answer 1

There are 59,049 possibilities.

There are 9 digits possible for each of the 5 digits:

9^5 = 59049

Annabelle Cooley · Answer 2

There would be 15,120 different possibilities.

I assume you meant 5 digit codes and not 55 (just a typo).

There are 9 choices for the first number, then 8, then 7, then 6, then 5.

If we multiply them all together, we will have the total number of possibilities.

9 x 8 x 7 x 6 x 5 = 15120
