Question

At the end of summer, the meter on jack's bike read 00256, he did 124 kilometers during the summer.

What was the reading on the meter at the start of the summer? 

Answer 1

    00256           [reading at end of Summer]

  -    124  km     [during Summer]

-----------

   00132  km    [reading at start of Summer]

 

Check:

    00132        [reading at start of Summer]

 +     124  km    [during Summer]

  ---------

    00256        [reading at end of Summer]

 

 

Note that the 124 km does not have leading zeros (because it is just an amount), but the meter reading always has the leading zeros (because it is a meter).
