900 number have three digits each, 100 through 999. 100 of them have a 4 in the 100's place. Of the remaining 800, 1/10 have a 4 in the tens place. 1/10 of 800 is 80. Of the remaining 720, 1/10 have a 4 in the units place.1/10 of 720 is 72.
100 + 80 + 72 = 252
252 three-digit numbers have at least one digit that is a 4.
3 digit numbers are lessthan 4 digit numbers

4C3 = (4!)/(4 -3)!3!] = (4 x 3!)/(1!3!) = 4 ways
24 = 4*3*2*1
The first digit can have 5 possible numbers, the second digit can have 4, the third 3, the fourth 2. 5

106------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------From Rafaelrz.You can make, 4P3 = 4!/(4-3)! = 24, different 3 digit numbers using 1, 2, 3 and 4.
When the repetition is allowed: 4*4*4 = 64 numbers. Without repetition: 4*3*2 = 24 numbers.
-3
Eight of them.
81 As there are no limits stated then you can have a number comprising a repeated single digit (such as 2222), two pairs of numbers (e.g. 2244) or three different numbers (such as 2462). The first digit can be one of any of the 3 numbers. The second digit can be one of any of the three numbers, as can the third digit and also the fourth. Then you can have 3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81 different 4-digit numbers using the three given numbers.
