How many even three-digit positive integers have the property that exactly two of the integer's digits are even?
Alright, here we go. Lets count out how many there are for odd starting numbers, and then even starting numbers.
For odd: The next two have to be even. So 5 possibilities per row, 5 rows, 25 possibilities for 1,3,5,7,9. So 125 for odd
For even its a bit more complicated. Zero doesn't count because that would be 2 digits. So we start with 2. 50 possibilities for that one. x 4. 200. Answers 325. I know I'm not clear but there's the answer.
325. For all you people that don't want to read.
