Answer:

There are 3 three-digit palindromes satisfy the property.

242 , 313  and  404

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

It is given that the sum of three things -- the hundreds digit, the units digit, and the product of the units and tens digits -- is eight more than the tens digit.

Let the number is "aba" (last and first digit will be same, As it is palindromes)

Then we have:

a + a + ba =  b + 8              

2a +  ba - b = 8  

Substitute a = 1 in 2a +  ba - b = 8  

2 +  b - b = 8  

2 ≠ 8   so 'a" can't be 1.

Substitute a = 2 in 2a +  ba - b = 8  

4 +  2b - b = 8  

b = 8- 4

b = 4

So, the first number is: 242

Substitute a = 3 in 2a +  ba - b = 8  

6 +  3b - b = 8  

2b = 2

b = 1

So, the second number is: 313

Substitute a = 4 in 2a +  ba - b = 8  

8 +  4b - b = 8  

3b = 8-8

b = 0

So, the third number is: 404

Substitute a = 5 in 2a +  ba - b = 8  

10 +  5b - b = 8  

4b = -2

b should be whole number so no other numbers are possible.

Hence, there are 3 three-digit palindromes satisfy the property.

242 , 313  and  404

Let the 3-digit palindrome be 101a+10b. a+a+ab=8+b, so 2a+ab-b=8.
2a+b(a-1)=8; b=2(4-a)/(a-1). From this we know that a > 1. And we know 4-a > 0 so a < 4.
This limits a to 2 and 3 which make b=4 and 1.
The palindromes are 242 and 313.
