three different non-zero-digits are used to form six different 3-digit numbers. the sum of five of them is 3231. what is the sixth number?
Understanding the Problem
We are given:
Three different non-zero digits: Let's denote them as
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C.
Six different 3-digit numbers: These are formed by arranging
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C in all possible orders. Since there are 3 digits, the number of permutations is
3
!
=
6
3!=6.
Sum of five of these numbers is 3231: We need to find the sixth number.
Our goal is to determine the value of the sixth 3-digit number.
Step 1: Listing All Possible 3-Digit Numbers
First, let's list all six possible 3-digit numbers formed by
A
A,
B
B, and
C

Step 2: Calculating the Sum of All Six Numbers
Let's add all six numbers together:

=

(

ABC+ACB+BAC+BCA+CAB+CBA
=(100A+10B+C)+(100A+10C+B)
+(100B+10A+C)+(100B+10C+A)
+(100C+10A+B)+(100C+10B+A)
=(100A+100A+10A+A+10A+A)
+(10B+B+100B+100B+B+10B)
+(C+10C+C+10C+100C+100C)
=(222A)+(222B)+(222C)
=222(A+B+C)
So, the sum of all six numbers is
222
(
A
+
B
+
C
)
222(A+B+C).
Step 3: Relating the Given Sum to Find the Sixth Number
We are told that the sum of five of these numbers is 3231. Let's denote the sixth number as
N
N. Therefore:
Sum of five numbers
=
3231
Sum of all six numbers
=
3231
+
N
Sum of five numbers=3231
Sum of all six numbers=3231+N
From Step 2, we know:
3231
+
N
=
222
(
A
+
B
+
C
)
3231+N=222(A+B+C)
Our goal is to find
N
N. To do this, we need to determine
A
+
B
+
C
A+B+C.
Step 4: Solving for
A
+
B
+
C
A+B+C
Let's rearrange the equation:
N
=
222
(
A
+
B
+
C
)
−
3231
N=222(A+B+C)−3231
Since
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C are digits (1 through 9),
A
+
B
+
C
A+B+C must be an integer between 3 and 27.
Let's find possible values of
A
+
B
+
C
A+B+C such that
N
N is a positive 3-digit number.
Let's denote
S
=
A
+
B
+
C
S=A+B+C. Then:
N
=
222
S
−
3231
N=222S−3231
We need
N
N to be a 3-digit number, so:
100
≤
N
≤
999
100
≤
222
S
−
3231
≤
999
100≤N≤999
100≤222S−3231≤999
Let's solve the inequalities:
222
S
−
3231
≥
100
222S−3231≥100
222
S
≥
3331
S
≥
3331
222
S
≥
15.0
222S≥3331
S≥
222
3331
S≥15.0
222
S
−
3231
≤
999
222S−3231≤999
222
S
≤
4230
S
≤
4230
222
S
≤
19.05
222S≤4230
S≤
222
4230
S≤19.05
Since
S
S must be an integer,
S
S can be 15, 16, 17, 18, or 19.
Step 5: Testing Possible Values of
S
S
Let's test each possible value of
S
S to find a valid
N
N.
Case 1:
S
=
15
S=15
N
=
222
×
15
−
3231
=
3330
−
3231
=
99
N=222×15−3231=3330−3231=99
But
N
=
99
N=99 is not a 3-digit number. So,
S
≠
15
S
=15.
Case 2:
S
=
16
S=16
N
=
222
×
16
−
3231
=
3552
−
3231
=
321
N=222×16−3231=3552−3231=321
N
=
321
N=321 is a valid 3-digit number.
Let's check if
S
=
16
S=16 is possible with three distinct digits from 1 to 9.
Possible combinations for
A
+
B
+
C
=
16
A+B+C=16:
7, 8, 1 → Sum = 16
6, 9, 1 → Sum = 16
5, 9, 2 → Sum = 16
4, 9, 3 → Sum = 16
5, 8, 3 → Sum = 16
6, 7, 3 → Sum = 16
4, 8, 4 → Not valid (digits must be distinct)
etc.
There are multiple valid combinations, so
S
=
16
S=16 is feasible.
Case 3:
S
=
17
S=17
N
=
222
×
17
−
3231
=
3774
−
3231
=
543
N=222×17−3231=3774−3231=543
N
=
543
N=543 is a valid 3-digit number.
Check for
S
=
17
S=17:
Possible combinations:
8, 7, 2 → Sum = 17
9, 6, 2 → Sum = 17
7, 6, 4 → Sum = 17
etc.
Again, multiple valid combinations exist.
Case 4:
S
=
18
S=18
N
=
222
×
18
−
3231
=
3996
−
3231
=
765
N=222×18−3231=3996−3231=765
N
=
765
N=765 is a valid 3-digit number.
Check for
S
=
18
S=18:
Possible combinations:
9, 8, 1 → Sum = 18
9, 7, 2 → Sum = 18
8, 7, 3 → Sum = 18
etc.
Valid combinations exist.
Case 5:
S
=
19
S=19
N
=
222
×
19
−
3231
=
4218
−
3231
=
987
N=222×19−3231=4218−3231=987
N
=
987
N=987 is a valid 3-digit number.
Check for
S
=
19
S=19:
Possible combinations:
9, 8, 2 → Sum = 19
9, 7, 3 → Sum = 19
8, 7, 4 → Sum = 19
etc.
Valid combinations exist.
Step 6: Determining the Correct
S
S and
N
N
We have multiple possible values for
S
S and corresponding
N
N. To find the correct one, we need additional constraints or information. However, since the problem states that the sum of five numbers is 3231, and we've derived that
N
=
222
S
−
3231
N=222S−3231, and
N
N must be one of the six numbers formed by
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C, we can deduce that
N
N must be consistent with the digits
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C.
Given that all six numbers are formed by the same three digits, and their sum is
222
S
222S, and five of them sum to 3231, the sixth number
N
N must be such that when added to 3231, it equals
222
S
222S.
Since
N
N is one of the six numbers, and all six numbers are permutations of
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C,
N
N must be a permutation of these digits.
Given that, let's consider the smallest possible
N
N that fits our earlier cases.
From our cases:
S
=
16
S=16,
N
=
321
N=321
S
=
17
S=17,
N
=
543
N=543
S
=
18
S=18,
N
=
765
N=765
S
=
19
S=19,
N
=
987
N=987
We need to check which of these
N
N values can be formed by the digits
A
A,
B
B, and
C
C that sum to
S
S.
Let's take
S
=
16
S=16,
N
=
321
N=321:
Digits: 3, 2, 1
Sum:
3
+
2
+
1
=
6
≠
16
3+2+1=6
=16
This doesn't match
S
=
16
S=16.
Next,
S
=
17
S=17,
N
=
543
N=543:
Digits: 5, 4, 3
Sum:
5
+
4
+
3
=
12
≠
17
5+4+3=12
=17
Doesn't match.
Next,
S
=
18
S=18,
N
=
765
N=765:
Digits: 7, 6, 5
Sum:
7
+
6
+
5
=
18
7+6+5=18
This matches
S
=
18
S=18.
Finally,
S
=
19
S=19,
N
=
987
N=987:
Digits: 9, 8, 7
Sum:
9
+
8
+
7
=
24
≠
19
9+8+7=24
=19
Doesn't match.
Therefore, the only valid case is
S
=
18
S=18,
N
=
765
N=765.
Step 7: Verifying the Solution
Let's verify that with
A
=
7
A=7,
B
=
6
B=6,
C
=
5
C=5, and
S
=
18
S=18, the sum of all six numbers is
222
×
18
=
3996
222×18=3996, and the sum of five numbers is 3231, so the sixth number should be
3996
−
3231
=
765
3996−3231=765.
Listing all six numbers:
765
765
756
756
675
675
657
657
567
567
576
576
Sum of all six:
765
+
756
+
675
+
657
+
567
+
576
=
3996
765+756+675+657+567+576=3996
Sum of five numbers (excluding 765):
756
+
675
+
657
+
567
+
576
=
3231
756+675+657+567+576=3231
This matches the given condition.
Final Answer
The sixth number is 765.
