Is not 64(5)+8(10)+(3) a solution as well?
Excellent solution

Thanks ... See more interesting question on my profile.
64(6)+8(2)+(3) , 6+2+3 = (11)
64 is an even number thus 64(a) must be even.
8 is an even number thus 8(b) must be even.
(even × even = even) because (403) is an odd thus (c = must be odd).
The most possible value for number that we can make with equation is 64(6)+8(2) = 400 .
403 - 400 = 3 thus C is (3) .
∴ the answer is 1 1
You must tell how 2,3,6 came .

If 64a+8b+c =403 , c=3 because rest is multiple of 8.
Divide (403-3=400) by 8, then it 8a+b=50 will appear, b=2,because rest is multiple of 8, and now we can find,"a" which is 6.
Now we know a=6,b=2,c=3, then a+b+c = 11.
