How many three-digit telephone area codes are possible if the first digit cannot be either a "0" or a "1" and the second digit must be either a "0" or a "1"?

Question

if the first digit cannot be either a "0" or a "1" and the second digit must be either a "0" or a "1"?

 

HELP!!!

Answer 1

There are 10 digits 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 if we can't use 0 and 1 then there are only 8 choices for the first digit and only 2 choices for the second digit and 10 for the third so there are 8*2*10 =160 possibilities.
