Problem
Find the number of ordered pairs of positive integers 
such that 
and neither 
nor 
has a zero digit.
Solution
There are 
numbers up to 1000 that have 0 as their units digit. All of the other excluded possibilities for are when or have a 0 in the tens digit, or if the tens digit of is 0 or 9. Excluding the hundreds, which were counted above already, there are 
numbers in every hundred numbers that have a tens digit of 0 or 9, totaling 
such numbers. However, the numbers from 1 to 9 and 991 to 999 do not have 0s, so we must subtract 
from that to get 
. Therefore, there are 
such ordered pairs.
