Complete Question

The access code for a car's security system consists of 6 digits, the first digit cannot be 8 and the last digit must be odd, how many different codes are available

Answer:

There are 450000 possible different codes

Explanation:

Given

Code = 6 digits

First = All but 8

Last = Odd

Required

Determine the possible number of codes

Analyzing each individual digit that makes up the code.

First: can be any of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9 ----- 9 possible numbers

Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth can be any of 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 since there's no restriction ----- 10 possible numbers

Last can be any of: 1,3,5,7,9 ----- 5 possible numbers

So, the number of possible selections is:


Selection = 9 * 10 * 10 * 10 * 10 *5


Selection = 450000

Hence, there are 450000 possible different codes
