How many 4-digit numbers have the last digit equal to the sum of the first two digits?
The first two can add to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
First I am just looking at combinations for the first 2 digits.
01 to 09 9 ways This line was wrong, there is only 9 10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90
11 to 18 8+7 ways 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18, 21,31,41,51,61,71,81
22 to 27 6+5 ways 22,23,24,25,26,27, 32,42,52,62,72,
33 to 36 4+3 ways 33,34,35,36, 43,53,63,
44 to 45 2+1ways 44,45, 54
9+15+11+7+3 = 45
45 combinations for the first two digits
10 combinations for the 3rd digit
The last digit is preset
45*10*1 = 450 possible numbers
OK Mine is fixed now, i just had a stupid error. We seem to be in agreement that the answer is 450.
