• 4^8
  The first letter can be posted in any of the 4 post boxes. Therefore, we have 4 possibilities.
  
  Similarly, the second, the third, the fourth and the fifth letter.... 8th letter can each be posted in any of the 4 post boxes.
  Each of the 8 letters has 4 possibilities because we can post any number of letters in all of the boxes.
  
  Therefore, the total number of ways the 8 letters can be posted in 4 boxes is 4 * 4 * 4* 4* 4 *4*4*4
