.

First (left-most) digit can be any from 1 to 9.


Next (tens) digit can be any from 0 to 9.

Even more simple reasoning is possible. 

Consider the set of all such 3-digit numbers. 
Cut the last digit: you will get the set of all 2-digit numbers.

The cardinality of this set of 2-digit numbers is 90 - - - it gives the answer.
