Answer

$9000$

Work Step by Step

According to the Multiplication Principle, if we have $p$ selections for the first choice, $q$ selections for the second choice, then we have $p\cdot q$ different ways of selections. (similarly for more than two choices). For the first digit we have $9$ selections and for the rest we have $10$, hence $9\cdot10\cdot10\cdot10=9000.$
