The sum of 3 and what?
The tens number has to be 4 to round to 50.
To find the two-digit number that fits the given criteria, we can break it down step by step.
1. The number rounds to 50, which means it is closer to 50 than any other two-digit number. This tells us that the tens digit of the number must be 5.
2. Since the number has more tens than ones, we know that the ones digit is smaller than the tens digit. So, it is less than 5.
3. The sum of the digits is 3. Since the tens digit is 5, that means the ones digit must be 3 - 5 = -2. However, since the ones digit cannot be negative, we need to borrow from the tens digit.
4. By borrowing 1 from the tens digit (5), we increase the ones digit (which was -2) to 8.
Putting it all together, the number is 58.
