I have fewer ones than tens. The value of my tens is 20. What two numbers can I be?
2 tens 1 one
2 tens 1 one is right
It could be 2 tens and 1 one or 2 tens and 0 ones.

21 and 22
To find the two numbers that satisfy the given conditions, we can use a simple approach. Let's assume that the number of ones is represented by 'x'. Since the value of the tens digit is given as 20, we can write the equation:
10 * 20 + x = 10 * x + 1
Simplifying this equation, we get:
200 + x = 10x + 1
Rearranging the terms, we have:
9x = 199
Now, dividing both sides of the equation by 9, we get:
x = 199 / 9
Since 'x' needs to be a whole number, we find that x ≈ 22.11. However, since we are dealing with tens and ones, 'x' should be an integer.
Therefore, x can be 22 or 23. So, the two numbers that satisfy the given conditions are 22 and 23.
