A. B. C

Logic Level 1

A A B B + C C A B C \large{\begin{array}{ccccccc} && & & & & A&A\\ && & & & & B&B\\ +&& & & & & C&C\\ \hline & & & & & A & B&C\\ \end{array}}

If each of A , B , C A,B,C represents a distinct digit from 1 to 9, then what is the value of A B C ? \overline{ABC}?


The answer is 198.

We are given that A A + B B + C C = A B C \overline{AA} + \overline{BB} + \overline{CC} = \overline{ABC} \Longrightarrow

10 A + A + 10 B + B + 10 C + C = 100 A + 10 B + C B + 10 C = 89 A 10A + A + 10B + B + 10C + C = 100A + 10B + C \Longrightarrow B + 10C = 89A .

Now since A , B , C A,B,C are digits the maximum of B + 10 C B + 10C is 99 99 , thus we must have A = 1 A = 1 . We then need to find B , C B,C such that B + 10 C = 89 B + 10C = 89 . Since B 9 B \le 9 we can only have C = 8 C = 8 , and thus B = 9 B = 9 .

The unique value for A B C \overline{ABC} is therefore 198 \boxed{198} .

AA+BB+CC=ABC or 11+99+88=198 this problem can be solved by logic A=1 B=9 C=8 then AA=11, BB=99,CC=88 so, ABC=198 BY:YNT
