Numbers are numbered consecutively numbers from 1-500 which cost 5 cents each. How much will the cost of all the digits be?

I'm assuming that you're saying that each digit costs 5 cents...if so, we have that.....

 

There are 401 numbers with 3 digits each [ 100 - 500]

There are 90 numbers with 2 digits each [ 10 - 99]

There are 9 digits with one number each [ 1 - 9]

 

So

 

5 * [ 401(3) + 90(2) + 9(1) ] =

 

5 * [ 1203 + 180 + 9]  =

 

5 * [1392]  =

 

6960 cents  =  $69.60

 

 

cool cool cool
