The hundred are one more than the tens. The tens are 1 more than the ones. The sum of the digits is 9.what is the number
To find the number, we need to analyze the given information step by step.
Let's assume the ones digit as 'x'.
According to the given information, the tens digit would be 1 more than the ones digit, so the tens digit would be 'x + 1'.
Similarly, the hundreds digit would be one more than the tens digit, so the hundreds digit would be '(x + 1) + 1' or 'x + 2'.
The sum of the digits is 9, so we can write the equation:
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 9.
Simplifying the equation, we get:
3x + 3 = 9,
3x = 9 - 3,
3x = 6,
x = 6 / 3,
x = 2.
Therefore, the ones digit is 2.
The tens digit is 2 + 1 = 3.
The hundreds digit is 3 + 1 = 4.
Hence, the number is 423.
