Question 1047403: A group of students are riding in a school bus during a field trip. The bus driver noticed the odometer shows 42924 which is a palindrome-a number that reads the same forward and backward. How many more miles will the bus travel before the odometer displays another palindrome?

For a palindrome ,
let's keep the first and the last digit constant. The next palindrome in the odometer will have 3 in place of the 2. Also the smallest reading will be with a 0 replacing 9.
So the number is 43034
so the bus has to travel 43034 - 42924 = 110 miles
