Question 1144572: What is the mystery number? The mystery number has three digits. The value of one figure is 20. The digit in the hundreds place is four more than the digit in the tens place. The digit in the hundreds place is the largest odd number.
I came up with the number 925. I feel as though this isn't the correct answer.

For your info:
The digits are the symbols 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
The two-digit number 20 is not a digit.
Your post, as it is worded, printed, posted and presented, is a DEFECTIVE problem.
FAKE problem, in other words.
Penalty to the author.

The vocabulary used in the statement of the problem is not correct; and after that is corrected the given information is both self-contradictory and insufficient to finish the problem.
What is the mystery number? The mystery number has three digits. The value of one  digit is 20. The digit in the hundreds place is four more than the digit in the tens place. The digit in the hundreds place is the largest odd  digit.
(1) The value of one digit is 20: That means a digit 2 in the tens place.
(2) The digit in the hundreds place is four more than the digit in the tens place: the digit in the hundreds place is 2+4 = 6.
(3) The digit in the hundreds place is the largest digit: the digit in the hundreds place is 9. But that contradicts (2)....
(4) And there is no information about the digit in the ones place....
You are wasting both your time and ours when you don't submit your posts correctly....
