Math Problem Statement
When a three-digit number and the sum of its digits are added, the resulting number is 387. Find all such possible three-digit numbers.
Solution
We are tasked with finding all three-digit numbers such that when the number and the sum of its digits are added, the resulting number is 387.
Let the three-digit number be represented as . We can express as:
where:
- is the hundreds digit,
- is the tens digit,
- is the units digit.
The sum of the digits of is . According to the problem, the sum of the number and the sum of its digits equals 387, so we have the equation:
Substitute into the equation:
Simplify the equation:
Combine like terms:
This simplifies to:
We now need to find values of , , and (which are digits, so and ) that satisfy this equation.
Solving the equation:
