We want to find the maximum number of different passwords that Brad can have. We know that the password must be five digits long, and it can use the numbers 0-9. With this information we can see that we have 10 choices for each digit.
\begin{gathered}
\boxed{1^\text{st} \text{ Digit}} \ \ \ \boxed{2^\text{nd} \text{ Digit}} \ \ \ \boxed{3^\text{rd} \text{ Digit}} \ \ \ \boxed{4^\text{th} \text{ Digit}} \ \ \ \boxed{5^\text{th} \text{ Digit}} \\
10 \qquad \qquad 10 \qquad \quad 10 \qquad \qquad 10 \qquad \quad 10 \\
\text{ choices} \quad \ \ \text{ choices} \quad \ \ \text{ choices} \quad \ \ \text{ choices} \quad \ \ \text{ choices} \\
\end{gathered}
| Number of Choices for the First Digit | 10 |
|---|---|
| Number of Choices for the Second Digit | 9 |
| Number of Choices for the Third Digit | 8 |
| Number of Choices for the Fourth Digit | 7 |
| Number of Choices for the Fifth Digit | 6 |
Because we have the number of possible outcomes of each event, we will use the Fundamental Counting Principle to find the maximum number of different passwords. 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 = 30 240 The maximum number of choices for the password is 30 240, so the correct option is G.
