You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are using the digits 1 through 9 (no zero),
\n" ); document.write( "so there are \"9\" digits to choose from.
\n" ); document.write( "An even number must end in 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
\n" ); document.write( "Your even three-digit numbers must end in 2, 4, 6, or 8.
\n" ); document.write( "That gives you \"4\" choices for the last digit.
\n" ); document.write( "For each choice, you have \"9-1=8\" unused digits to use as second (tens) digit,
\n" ); document.write( "to get \"4%2A8=32\" two-digit ending sequences.
\n" ); document.write( "Each of those two-digit ending sequence choices
\n" ); document.write( "leaves you \"9-1-1=7\" unused digits you can choose as the first (hundreds) digit,
\n" ); document.write( "for a total of \"32%2A7=highlight%28224%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "three-digit even numbers with no repeated digits.
\n" ); document.write( "
