Answer:

You can make 27 different 3 digit numbers

Explanation:

Since we can use 3 different numbers this means that each of the 3 digits can be one of the 3 numbers (4,2,9). This means that there are 3 different values for the first digit, 3 different values for the second digit, and 3 different values for the third digit, which mean that we can make 3 x 3 x 3 different 3 digit numbers (we took the number of possible values for each digit and multiplied them together.

3 x 3 x 3 = 27
