if we divide a number by 9 the remainder is 8
and of we divide the same number by 10 the remainder is 9..
so what is the number ?
:
Find the multiples of 9 + 8
26, 35, 44, 53, 62, 71, 80, 89, 98
:
From the 2nd statement we know the unit digit has to be 9 (multiples of 10 + 9)
The only number in the 1st statement is 89, so that's the number
