If the numbers can be repeated:

We can choose the first digit only 1 way, (it must be 3).

We can choose the 2nd digit as either 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.  That's 1*6 ways.

For each of those 6 ways we can choose the first two digits, we can
choose the 3rd digit as either 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.  That's 1*6*6 ways.

For each of those 1*6*6 ways we can choose the first three digits, we can
choose the 4th digit as either 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9.  That's 1*6*6*6 ways.

Answer 1*6*6*6 = 6³ = 216

If the numbers cannot be repeated:

We can choose the first digit only 1 way, (it must be 3).

We can choose the 2nd digit as either 0, 1, 5, 7, 9.  That's 1*5 ways.

For each of those 5 ways we can choose the first two digits, we can
choose the 3rd digit any of 4 ways.  That's 1*5*4 ways.

For each of those 1*5*4 ways we can choose the first three digits, we can
choose the 4th digit any of 3 ways.  That's 1*5*4*3 ways.

Answer 1*5*4*3 = 60.
