Answer by Edwin McCravy(20062) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You had "greater than 3000", but all 5-digit numbers are greater than 
3000, so I changed it to 30000.

Choose the last (5th) digit even as 4 or 8.  That's 2 ways.
 
Choose the first digit odd as 3 or 5 (not 1, since it has to be greater 
than 30000).  That's 2 ways.

Choose the second digit as any of the 3 that are left.  That's 3 ways

Choose the third digit as either of the 2 that are left.  That's 2 ways.

Choose the fourth digit as the only one that is left.  That's 1 way.
