Answer:
A = 7
B = 5
C = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
A8 × 3B = C730
Now, by inspection, in multiplication of the above, the product of 8 and B must produce a number whose unit digit is 0.
Thus,the only two single digit numbers that can fit this description for B is either 5 or 0 since if they would yield a unit digit of 0 when multiplied by8.
Now, let's test 0.
If B is 0, it means the unit digit of C730 is 0 as wanted while the remaining product of A8 and 3 should yield C73. Now product of A8 and 3 would produce a number with a last digit of 4. But our last digit there in C73 is 3. Thus, it means B cannot be 0 but is 5.
Thus, it means 3B is 35.
Now, we are told that A, B and C could be any single digit number.
from 0 - 9.
Thus, the maximum value of A is 9.
Let's try to put 9 for A and multiply by 35.
If A is 9,then 98 × 35 = 3430
It means that the maximum value of C is 3.
Thus, C can either be 3 or less than 3. So, C is either 1, 2, or 3
Now, if C = 1, it means the C730 is now 1730.
Thus,A8 will be: 1730/35 = 49.43
This is a decimal and thus, it means C ≠ 1.
Now,if C = 2, it means the C730 is now 2730.
Thus,A8 will be: 2730/35 = 78
This is a whole number and thus, it means C = 2
Now,if C = 3, it means the C730 is now 3730.
Thus,A8 will be: 3730/35 = 106.57
This is a decimal and thus, it means C ≠ 3
Thus; A8 is 78 when C = 2
So, A = 7
