Algebra.Com's Answer #800430 by greenestamps(13203)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! \n" ); document.write( "The statement of the problem suggests that there is only one number that satisfies the condition of the problem. \n" ); document.write( "From the wording of the problem, we know the units digit is the smallest. So start with the smallest possible units digit, which is 0. \n" ); document.write( "That makes the tens digit 0+2=2; and that makes the hundreds digit 2+1=3. That gives us the number 320. \n" ); document.write( "And we can see that, if we had started with any digit greater than 0 for the units digit, we would have ended up with a number greater than 400. \n" ); document.write( "So 320 is the only number that satisfies all the conditions. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
