Each page number of a 488-page book is printed one time in the book. The first page is page 1 and the last page is page 488. When printing all of the page numbers, how many more 4's are printed than 8's?

Notice, they the appear the same number of times in each group of 100 from 0 - 399

 

4 14 24 34 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 54 64 74 84 94

8 18 28 38 48 58 68 78 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 98

 

They each appear 20 times in each group of 100

 

But....starting at page 400 to page 488, the 4's appear

 

89 + 19 times   = 108 times

 

But the 8's only  appear 18 times  from pages 400 - 488

 

So....the 4's appear   108  - 18    = 100 more times

 

 

cool cool cool
