Answer:

68?

Explanation:

multiples of 5 end in 5 or 0

_ _ _

last digit has 2 choices ( 5 and 0 )

1,3,5,7,9 are odd

so tens digit has 5 choices but we see that 5 is repeated so we split into more cases

when last digit is 0, tens digit has 5 choices then hundreds digit has 8 choices so 1*5*8=40

when last digit is 5, tens digit has 4 choices and hundreds digit has 7 choices (0 can't be first digit) 1*4*7=28

40+28=68
