I'm a number between 200 and 300. My ones digit is 2x4. The sum of my tens and ones digit is 12. What number am I?

Answer 1

Imagine a number with digits a b c

where c = ones digit

b = tens digit

a = hundreds digit

"my ones digit is 2x4. That means that c=8

The number is ab8

"The sum of my tens and ones digit is 12"

b + c = 12 or b + 8 = 12

b = 4

The number is a48

Now, if the number is between 200 and 300, the hundreds digit (the a) must e 2.

The number is: 248

Answer 2

Imagine a number with digits a b c

where c = ones digit

b = tens digit

a = hundreds digit

"my ones digit is 2x4. That means that c=8

The number is ab8

"The sum of my tens and ones digit is 12"

b + c = 12 or b + 8 = 12

b = 4

The number is a48
