Question

Phone numbers take the form of a 3-digit area code, followed by a 3-digit number then a 4-digit number. How many possible different phone numbers are there?

Expert Solution
Step 1

The phone number takes :

 the form of a 3-digit area code

Total digits possible = 10  (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9)

But for the first digit, it would be 9 because we can not consider 0

Therefore, total digits possible = 9*10*10 = 900
