Question 53447: Sally went shopping for tiles at the local toy shop the other day. Tiles were on sale for only 28 pennies each.
However, she got it in her head that, for good luck, the total amount of pennies she must spend must be a number where all of the digits are the same.
With that in mind, what is the minimum number of tiles she must buy?
