Question 780915: You decide to number the 58 pages in your journal from 1 to 58. How many digits do you have to write?

If they were numbered 01, 02,...09,10,...,58 there would be 2×58 or 116
digits, but since we don't put a 0 before 1 through 9, we subtract 9 0's
from that figure and get 116-9 = 107.
