1. imranmeah91

well, let's write out each posibility for each digit and then multiply

2. GOODMAN

I was told to use the Counting Principle

3. imranmeah91

first one can't be 0 or 1 , so we got only 8 possibilities

4. RyanE

8*10*10*10*10*10*10

5. imranmeah91

the other digits have 10 possibilties so we multiplies them all

6. GOODMAN

Okay, so we delete 2 outta the 10 possibliity.

7. imranmeah91

like Ryan did above
