How many three-digit numbers greater than 200 can be formed from the digits 1, 2, 6, 7, and 9, if the digits can be repeated?
Answer choices are 64 100 125
@ShadowLegendX
digits can be repeated _ _ _ we're looking a 3 digit number the first digit has to be 2 or greater we only have 2, 6, 7, or 9 the other two spots can be 1, 2, 6, 7, or 9
I know it goes n! ---- (n-r)!r! I just dont know how to substitute
for this one, we can use the counting princple what are the # of possible numbers that could go in the first digit? in the 2nd digit? 3rd digit? and you multiply it
not sure how to use that formula here... it's easier to use the counting princple :P
oh so that would be 100
because 5^3
5^3 = 125 but the first digit can only have 4 because if use 1 in the first digit the number will be less than 200 so 4 * 5 * 5
oh okay that makes sense thank you so much!
but 4 * 5 = 20 and 20 * 5 = 100?
OH I SEE LUL MY BAD
I got the correct answer by doing basic math incorrectly sorry
yeah :)
