Work Step by Step

The call letters of a radio station must have 4 letters. The first letter must be a K or a W. How many different station call letters can be made if repetitions are not allowed? The first letter has 2 choices, the second one 25, third 24, and forth 23, so the total is $2\times25\times24\times23=27600$ If repetitions are allowed? In this case, the first letter has 2 choices, the second one 26, third 26, and forth 26, so the total is $2\times26\times26\times26=35152$
