The four-digit number \(25AB\) is divisible by nine, with \(A\) the tens digit and \(B\) the units digit. How many such four-digit numbers could \(25AB\) represent?

For AB I got 11, 02, 20, 29, 38, 47, 56, 65, 74, 83, and 92. I'm not sure if that's all of them.

25AB

 

The sum of the digits must be a multiple of 9......so.....

 

2 + 5  +  A  + B  =   9M

 

A + B   =  9M - 7

 

If  M =  1                    M  =  2                M  = 3

A + B  =  2                A + B  =  11         A + B  = 20 

A , B  =                     A , B =                 No possibilities  for A, B when  M > 2

0, 2                           2, 9

and the reverse        3, 8

                                 4, 7

                                 5, 6

                                 and the reverses

 

So....by my count.....we have 5(2) =  10 such numbers

If A,B  can be the same integers....you are correct, HSM  !!!

 

[ I assumed that they must be unique ]

 

Whatever.....our answers only differ by 1, so  it probably depends upon our assumptions  ....LOL!!!

I don't think you counted the 11 case. 2511 would also work because 2+5+1+1=9

Yep...if A,B  can be the same integers, you are correct

 

[ I assumed that they had to be different ]
