How many integers between 10 and 100 have exactly one digit equal to 3?

Thanks

13, 23, 30, 31, 32, 34 (see not 33 because 33 has TWO digits equal, not one. and they said EXACTLY one) , 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93.

so 17 is the answer

Well you have 13, 23, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, and 39. Am I missing any? Should be 17.

haha, wow - thanks. I found my mistake. I had listed the numbers and counted only 16 - i just looked at my list and it turns out i unknowingly skipped 30.
