Solution

To obtain the number 223 by selecting one number from each column, we can consider the following combination:

  • 1 (from the first column)
  • 57 (from the second column)
  • 84 (from the third column)
  • 5 (from the fourth column)
  • 76 (from the fifth column)

Now, adding these numbers together:

1+57+84+5+76=2231 + 57 + 84 + 5 + 76 = 223

Thus, the combination of numbers that sums up to 223 is 1+57+84+5+761 + 57 + 84 + 5 + 76.

Here are five related questions:

  1. Can you find another combination of numbers that sums to 223?
  2. How would you find a combination to get a different total?
  3. How does the number of possible combinations change with different sets of numbers?
  4. What strategies can be used to systematically find sums of numbers from different sets?
  5. Can you create a formula to determine all combinations that sum to a given target number?

Tip: When solving problems like this, it's useful to list out combinations and add them systematically to avoid missing any possible solutions.
