There are 10 2 digit numbers that start with 1 (10,11,12...19)
\n" ); document.write( "There are 10 2 digit numbers that start with 2 (20,21,...29)
\n" ); document.write( "Do this all the way up to the 10 2 digit numbers that start with 9 (90,91...99)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now sum them
\n" ); document.write( "10*1= 10
\n" ); document.write( "10*2=20
\n" ); document.write( "10*3=30
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "10*9= 90
\n" ); document.write( "So you can see that sum is 10 + 20 + 30 + 40 + ...+ 80 + 90
\n" ); document.write( "Adding them up, you get 450
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
