A small combination lock on a suitcase has 3

​wheels, each labeled with the 10 digits 0 to 9. How many 3
​-digit
combinations are possible if digits can be​ repeated? (Hint: The word combination is a misnomer. Lock combinations are not mathematical combinations because the arrangement of the numbers is​ important.)
