Question 414389: When two missing digits in a given number, 8 5 ___ ___ 1, are replaced, the number is divisible by 99. What is the number?
I have tried this several times and keep coming up with three choices:
The number is either 85221 or 85041 or 85401
The answer books says the answer is 85041 but why did they exclude the other possibilities?
