Answer:
90 numbers
Step-by-step explanation:
Considering the stipulations from the question, the layout for the 3-digit number is:
[tex]\underline{x}\:\underline{2}\:\underline{y}[/tex]
The hundreds digit, [tex]x[/tex], can be any number from 1-9 inclusive, which contains 9 numbers.
The tens digit, 2, is fixed, as stipulated from the problem, and therefore may only be one number, 2.
The ones digit, [tex]y[/tex], can be any number from 0-9 inclusive which gives 10 options.
Therefore, there are [tex]9\cdot 1\cdot 10=\boxed{90}[/tex] three digit numbers that have 2 as a tens digit.
