I am a 3 digit number. My tens digit is half the sum of my other two digits,
\n" ); document.write( "and my units digit is 8 more than my hundreds digit. What number am i?
\n" ); document.write( "

\r\n" );
document.write( "This clause:

>>...My units digit is 8 more than my hundreds digit...<<

\r\n" );
document.write( "gives us both the units and the hundreds digits.  The smallest the hundreds\r\n" );
document.write( "digit can be is 1 because a 3-digit number can't begin with 0.  And the\r\n" );
document.write( "largest it can be in order to be able to add 8 to it and still get a\r\n" );
document.write( "one-digit number is also 1.  So the hundreds digit can only be 1, and the\r\n" );
document.write( "hundreds digit is 8 more than 1 or 9.  \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then since

>>...my tens digit is half the sum of my other two digits...<<

\r\n" );
document.write( "the tens digit is half of 1+9, or 10, and half of 10 is 5, so the\r\n" );
