Answer:
The value of A is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
- The number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is a number
divisible by 3
- Ex: 126 is divisible by 3 because the sum of its digits = 1 + 2 + 3 = 6
and 6 is divisible by 3
- The number is divisible by 5 if its ones digit is zero or 5
- Ex: 675 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 5
890 is divisible by 5 because its ones digit is 0
- We are looking for the value of A in the 4-digit number 3A5A which
makes the number divisible by both 3 and 5
∵ A is in the ones position
∴ A must be zero or 5
- Let us try A = 0
∵ A = 0
∴ The number is 3050
∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 0 + 5 + 0 = 8
∵ 8 is not divisible by 3
∴ 3050 is not divisible by both 3 and 5
∴ A can not be zero
- Let us try A = 5
∵ A = 5
∴ The number is 3555
∵ The sum of the digits of the number = 3 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 18
∵ 18 is divisible by 3
∴ 3555 is divisible by both 3 and 5
∴ A must be equal 5
* <em>The value of A is 5</em>

The <em>correct answer</em> is:
400,000.
Explanation:
The third digit in 399 is 9. To round to this place value, we inspect the digit behind it. If the digit is 5 or greater, we round up; if it is less than 5, we round down.
The digit behind 9 is 7. Since it is greater than 5, we round up. This would ordinarily put the number up 1; however, doing that makes the 9 a 10, which in turn makes the next number 10, and the next number 4. This gives us 400,000.
