Question 540987: A credit card number has 5 digits (between 1 to 9). The first two digits
are 12 in that order, the third digit is bigger than 6, and the fourth digit
is 3 times the 5th digit. How many different credit card combinations are
possible?

Since the first two digits are 12 in that order, there is only 1 way
to choose the first two digits. That's 1 way to choose the first
two digits.
Since the third digit is bigger than 6, it can only be 7,8, or 9.
So that's 1×3 choices for the the first three digits.
Since the 4th digit is 3 times the 5th digit, the number can only end in
31, 62, or 93
So for each of the 1×3 way to choose the first 3 digits, there are 3
ways to choose the last two digits.
That's a total of 1×3×3 = 9 possible numbers. Here are all 9:
1. 12731
2. 12762
3. 12793
4. 12831
5. 12862
6. 12893
7. 12931
8. 12962
9. 12993
