The pages in a book are numbered from 1 to 2001. How many times was the digit 0 printed?
From 1 to 9 =None From 10 to 99 = 9 From 100 to 199 =20 From 200 to 999 =160 From 1000 to 1999 =300 From 2000 to 2001(inclusive) =5 Grand Total = 9 + 20 + 160 + 300 + 5 =494 zeros
P.S. If you don't want 2001 included, then:494 - 2 =492 zeros.
