Answer:
Option B) 3
Step-by-step explanation:
we have the number
4162 0012 3456 789a
<u><em>Find the value of a (check number)</em></u>
step 1
Multiply every even-position digit (when counted from the right) in the number by two. If the result is a two digit number, then add these digits together to make a single digit
4162 0012 3456 789a
9(2)+7(2)+5(2)+3(2)+1(2)+0(2)+6(2)+4(2)
(18)+(14)+(10)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(12)+(8)
Remember that If the result is a two digit number, then add these digits together to make a single digit
so
(1+8)+(1+4)+(1+0)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(1+2)+(8)
(9)+(5)+(1)+(6)+(2)+(0)+(3)+(8)=34
step 2
add every odd-position digit
4162 00123456 789a
so
8+6+4+2+0+2+1=23
step 3
Adds the result in step 1 and the result in step 2
34+23=57
The check-digit is what number needs to be added to this total to make the next multiple of 10
In our case, we’d need to add 3 to make 60
therefore
The check number is 3
