Math Problem Statement

How many numbers are there between 100 and 1000 such that every digit is either 2 or 9?

Solution

The question in the uploaded image asks:

"How many numbers are there between 100 and 1000 such that every digit is either 2 or 9?"


Solution:

  1. A number between 100 and 1000 is a 3-digit number.

    • The first digit must be either 2 or 9 (to ensure it remains a 3-digit number).
    • The second digit can be either 2 or 9.
    • The third digit can also be either 2 or 9.
  2. Since there are two choices (2 or 9) for each of the three digits, the total number of numbers is:

    2×2×2=82 \times 2 \times 2 = 8


The Numbers:

The possible numbers formed by digits {2, 9} are:

  • 222, 229, 292, 299, 922, 929, 992, 999.

So, there are 8 numbers in total.
