How many numbers there between 200 and 500 that have 7 in the tens place?

To determine how many numbers between 200 and 500 have a 7 in the tens place, we need to consider the possibilities for the hundreds and units digits. Since the hundreds digit can be any number from 2 to 4 (inclusive), there are 3 options. The tens digit must be 7, and the units digit can be any number from 0 to 9, giving us 10 options. Therefore, the total number of numbers meeting this criteria is 3 (options for hundreds) x 1 (fixed digit in tens place) x 10 (options for units) = 30.
