A combination question

OpenStudy (ahsome):

How many 4-digit numbers can be made from the numbers 1,3,5,7,9 and 0 if the numbers can be repeated (Remember - a number cannot start with 0)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

You have six digits to work with, each of which can be repeated. So, I'd say your answer is 6*6*6*6 which equals 36*36 which equals 1,296

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Nope, its 1080 :/ (remember at 0 cannot be used in the start)

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

okay then - sorry

OpenStudy (ahsome):

@wolf1728, I got it!

OpenStudy (chillout):

_ * _ * _ *_ The first number can't be 0, so you you have 5 numbers to work with for the first spot. 5 * _ * _ * _ The other ones can repeat, so we can fill the other spots with all numbers - 6 5 * 6 * 6 * 6 = 1080.
