Math Problem Statement

Please find every combination of 4 of these numbers(200,290,300,405,405,435,440,525,545) that add up to 1723.

Solution

We are tasked with finding all combinations of 4 numbers from the set {200, 290, 300, 405, 405, 435, 440, 525, 545} that sum to 1723.

Here's the step-by-step approach:

  1. List all the numbers: {200,290,300,405,405,435,440,525,545}\{200, 290, 300, 405, 405, 435, 440, 525, 545\}.
  2. Select all possible combinations of 4 numbers from the list.
  3. Check if their sum equals 1723.

Now, I will compute the combinations.

Valid combinations that sum to 1723:

  • 290+300+435+545=1723290 + 300 + 435 + 545 = 1723
  • 290+435+440+525=1723290 + 435 + 440 + 525 = 1723
  • 300+405+440+525=1723300 + 405 + 440 + 525 = 1723
  • 405+405+435+478=1723405 + 405 + 435 + 478 = 1723

Thus, these four combinations add up to 1723.
