Question

I have 5 digits. My 4s are worth 4 [10,000s] and 4 * 10. One of my 3s is worth 3,000. The other is worth 1/10 as much. My other digit is a 2. What number am I?

Answer 1

The given information are actually the digits and their place values in multiples of 10. To know the identity of the number, simply multiply the digit with its place value. The solution is as follows:

4(10,000) + 4(10) + 3,000 + 3,000(1/10) + 2 = 43,342

Thus, the 5-digit number is 43,342.
