I will become a fan and give a medal! how many 3 digit numerical passwords are there if a digit can be repeated

OpenStudy (anonymous):

They didn't give me any further instructions. So, your guess is as good as mine.

OpenStudy (loganh):

think like this

OpenStudy (loganh):

put numbers 1 through 9 vertically on a piece of paper

OpenStudy (loganh):

for each of these numbers you can also have 1 through 9

OpenStudy (loganh):

so if you put 9 lines coming from each number, put 1 through nine on each of these in order.

OpenStudy (loganh):

you can also do this again to each of the numbers in the second column. I will try to draw this out for you.

OpenStudy (loganh):

|dw:1440728394563:dw|

OpenStudy (loganh):

Each of these smaller numbers can also have a set of numbers 1-9, you get what I'm trying to say?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is more than 1000 right?

OpenStudy (loganh):

I don't think so.

OpenStudy (loganh):

Actually, give me a sec. to work this out. :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take your time

OpenStudy (loganh):

Are there answer choices at all? just wonderin'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no. It would be so much easier if there were!!!
