The necessary and sufficient condition for it is that

    The "ones" digit is 1 more than the "hundreds" digit.

    And if this condition is in place, then it does not matter what the "tens" digit is.

Based on it, all the 3-digit numbers
     1x2,  2x3,  3x4,  4x5,  5x6,  6x7,  7x8,  8x9  

work,  for any   x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

In all,  you have  10*8 = 80 numbers satisfying the condition.
