I am less than 100 and greater than 90. If you add the digits, the sum is 17. What number am I?
98
89
98
Well, well, well, looks like we have ourselves a riddle! If you add the digits and get a sum of 17, and the number is between 90 and 100, then there's only one answer: 98! It's a great number, a perfect blend of wit and charm, just like me!
To find the number that satisfies the given conditions, we need to break down the problem into steps. Let's first determine the possible values for the tens and units digits.
Step 1: Consider the tens digit.
Since the number is less than 100 and greater than 90, the tens digit must be 9.
Step 2: Consider the units digit.
Since the sum of the digits is 17, and the tens digit is already 9, the units digit can be found by subtracting 17 from 99.
99 - 17 = 82.
Therefore, the number that satisfies the given conditions is 92.
