I am a number greater than 99 and less than 1,000. Two of my digits that aren't next to each other are the same. My tens digit could not be greater and it is 1 more than my hundreds digit. What number am I?
Tens digit is 9
hundreds then is 8
so if it is less than 1000, it is three digits, which makes hundreds the same as ones.
Does 898 work?
bobpursley, great thank you, sound good to me
my number is less than 50, my tens digit is 4, and my sums digit is 4 what am i?
To find the number that satisfies the given conditions, we can break down the problem step by step.
Step 1: Identify the hundreds digit.
The problem states that the tens digit is one more than the hundreds digit. So, the hundreds digit must be less than or equal to 8 (since the tens digit cannot be greater than 9).
Step 2: Identify the tens digit.
The problem states that the tens digit is one more than the hundreds digit. Therefore, it can be calculated by adding 1 to the hundreds digit found in step 1.
Step 3: Identify the units digit.
Given that the two digits that are the same are not next to each other, it means that the units digit cannot be the same as either the tens or hundreds digit found previously.
Step 4: Combine the digits to form the number.
With the hundreds digit from step 1, the tens digit from step 2, and any valid units digit from step 3, we can form the final number.
Let's go through the steps:
Step 1: Since the tens digit (the digit that is one more than the hundreds digit) cannot be greater than 9, the hundreds digit must be 8.
Step 2: The tens digit is one more than the hundreds digit, so it is 8 + 1 = 9.
Step 3: The units digit cannot be the same as either the tens or hundreds digit. It can be any digit from 0 to 9, except for 8 and 9, since those were already used for the hundreds and tens digit. Let's choose the units digit as 7.
Step 4: Combining the digits, we have 897.
Therefore, the number that satisfies all the given conditions is 897.
