A palindrome is a number that reads the same forward and backward, such as 242. How many even three-digit numbers are palindromes?	Choose the correct choice.
A) 40  B) 400  C) 500  D) 5,000  E) 100,000
if the palindrome must be even, it must begin and end in 2,4 6 and 8 ( 4 ways) e.g 212,414.   The middle number in the three-digit could be 0-9 ( 10 ways), e.g 252, 282   we thus have, 4 *10 = 40.   40
