Case 1. The number has 3 digits and the first digit is 1. There are only three, 152, 153, and 154 Case 2: The number has 3 digits and the first digit is not 1. (They will all be greater than 150.) We can choose the first digit 4 ways, (2,3,4,or 5). We can choose the second digit 4 ways. We can choose the third digit 3 ways. That's 4∙4∙3 = 48 Case 3: The number has 4 digits. (They will all be greater than 150.) We can choose the first digit 5 ways. We can choose the second digit 4 ways. We can choose the third digit 3 ways. We can choose the fourth digit 2 ways. That's 5∙4∙3∙2 = 120 Case 4: The number has 5 digits. (They will all be greater than 150.) We can choose the first digit 5 ways. We can choose the second digit 4 ways. We can choose the third digit 3 ways. We can choose the fourth digit 2 ways. We can choose the fifth digit 1 way. That's 5∙4∙3∙2∙1 = 120 Total for all 4 cases: 3+48+120+120 = 291 Edwin
