For your level, you should list down every single possibility.

These are the possible 3-digit combinations from digits 2, 4, 7 and 8 without repetition of digits.

Digits starting with 2 are 247, 248, 274, 278, 284 and 287.
Digits starting with 4 are 427, 428, 472, 478, 482 and 487.
Digits starting with 7 are 724, 728, 742, 748, 782 and 784.
Digits starting with 8 are 824, 827, 842, 847, 872 and 874.

There are a total of 24 possible combinations, two of which are 247 and 274. Therefore, the remaining 22 combinations are possible.

For the first digit, he can choose one digit out from 2, 4,7 or 8. Hence he has 4 choices.
For the second digit, he was left with 3 choices as one digit has been selected and there are no repeatation of digits.
For the last digit, he was left with 2 choices as two digits had been selected.
Total combinations of digits =4*3*2=24
Since, he already tried 2 combination,
Maximum more number of combinations that he can try=24-2=22
