​

Answer 1

Answer:

Game: Given Eight 8s: 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8, Add Any Number of “+”s Between the 8's to Make the Sum Equals 1000.

Answer 2

Given:

Total sum = 1000

To find:

Terms (using 8) that adds up to 1000 =?

Solution:

The given question has the following conditions:

• Using number 8 only 8 times
• Addition of terms only

Step 1: Write number 8 for 8 times which is equal to 100

=> 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 = 1000

Step 2: Consider the 3 digit number made of 8

=> 3 digit number = 888

=> 8 used 3 times

Step 3: Consider the 2 digit number made of 8

=> 2 digit number = 88

=> 8 used 2 times

Step 4: Consider 1 digit number made of 8

=> 1 digit number= 8 + 8 + 8

=> 8 used 3 times

To sum up:

=> 888 + 88 + 8 + 8 + 8 = 1000

Hence by adding up all terms using 8 we get 1000.
