How many 3-digit numbers that are evenly divisible by 5 can be formed using the numbers 1,2,4,5, 6 and 9 if repetition is NOT allowed?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5*4 = 20.

The "ones" digit is 5.

The first digit can be any of five digits 1, 2, 4, 6 and 9 (5 options).
The second digit (tens) can be any of four remaining digits (4 options).

Therefore, the answer is 5*4 = 20.
