Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

The number is between 10 and 49

The number is divisible by 3

Let the 10s digit = x

Let the units digit = y

1/3 * (10x + y)  = x + y          multiply both sides by 3

10x + y = 3(x +y)                  remove the brackets.

10x +y = 3x + 3y                  Subtract 3x from both sides

10x - 3x + y = 3y                  Combine\

7x + y = 3y                           Subtract y from both sides.

7x = 3y - y                           Combine

7x = 2y

x can't be very big. Even taking 1/3 will get out of range is you use 6.

Also x should be an even number. The units digit cannot have a fraction in it.

Try making x = 2

7*2 = 2*y

14 = 2y                                Divide by 2

14/2 = y

y = 7

So the number is possibly 27. Let's check it out.

  • The number is between and includes 10 and 49. 27 is between these two endpoints.
  • 27 is divisible by 3
  • 1/3(27) = sum of digits
  • 9 = (2 + 7)

All of the conditions are met. It's B
