Answer 1

Answer:

A) 0-37000-80049-9

Step-by-step explanation:

For a standard  bar code, it consists of a five digit manufacturer number and a five digit product number.  Check digits are a single digit computed from the other characters in the string of numbers. Check digits are on the far right.

Add the odd number digits: 0+7+0+8+0+9 = 24.

Multiply the result by 3: 24 × 3 = 72.

Add the even number digits: 3+0+0+0+4 =7.

Add the two results together: 72 + 07 = 79.

The last digit is 9
