I have more ones than tens. The value of me tens digit is 80. What number am I?
80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89
Which number fits the description?
To determine the number, let's use the information provided step-by-step:
1. The value of the tens digit is 80.
- This means that the tens digit is 8 multiplied by 10.
- So, the value of the tens digit is 80.
2. The number has more ones than tens.
- Since the tens digit is 80, the number has 8 ones.
- This indicates that the number is greater than 80.
3. Combining the tens and ones digits, the number is 88.
- The tens digit is 80 and the ones digit is 8.
- Therefore, the number you are is 88.
To determine the number, we know that the value of the tens digit is 80, and we have more ones than tens in the number.
Let's consider the possible values for the tens digit. If the tens digit is 0, then the number would only have a single digit, which contradicts the given information.
If the tens digit is 1, then the ones digit would need to be greater than 1, violating the condition that there are more ones than tens.
If the tens digit is 2, then the ones digit would need to be greater than 2, which still doesn't satisfy the condition of having more ones than tens.
Continuing this pattern, if the tens digit is 3, the ones digit should be greater than 3; if the tens digit is 4, the ones digit should be greater than 4, and so on.
Finally, when the tens digit reaches 8, the ones digit should be greater than 8. However, since there are only numbers ranging from 0 to 9 (inclusive) for the ones digit, it is not possible to have a situation where the tens digit is 8 and the ones digit is greater than 8.
Thus, it is not possible to find a number that satisfies the given conditions where there are more ones than tens and the value of the tens digit is 80.
