Each digit is a square number. That means that your choices for digits are:
1=1%5E2
4=2%5E2 and
9=3%5E2.
Someone could argue that 0=0%5E2 is a choice, but I would not call zero a square number. (It's rather round, after all).

Each of the 3 digits is different, so you will use all three of your possible choices: 1, 4, and 9.

The digit in the tens place is the largest, so it must be 9.

The difference between the digit in the hundreds and tens place is the quotient of 100 divided by 20.
The quotient is 5 because 100 divided by 20 is 5
100%2F20=5.
We know that in the tens place is 9, and if the difference is 5, the digit in the hundreds place must be 4. (9-4=5)

The only plce where we can place the 1 is in the ones place, so the answer is highlight%28491%29

what is this number,
The difference between the digit in the hundreds and tens place is the quotient of 100 divided by 20,
The number is between 1 and 1,000
Each of the 3 digits is different ,
The digit in the tens place is the largest of the digits,and
each digit is a square number.
:
Let a = the 100's digit
Let b = the 10's
Let c = the units
:
"The difference between the digit in the hundreds and tens place is the quotient of 100 divided by 20,"
a - b = 5 or b - a = 5; (5 is the quotient of 100/20)
:
"Each digit is a square number; Must be: 1, 4, and 9
:
"The digit in the 10's place is the largest of the digits"; b=9
b - a = 5
9 - 4 = 5: a=4
:
The number must be: 491
