\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Greatest digit is 9, but less than 900, so at most the number can have three digits, and the hundreds digit cannot be 9. One more than a multiple of 10. All multiples of 10 end in 0, so one more must end in 1. That means that the 1s digit is 1, and since 1 plus 9 is only 10, we need another digit, namely a 2 to make the sum of the digits be 12. The 2 has to go in the 100s place, the 9 in the 10s place, and the 1 in the 1s place.\r
