the sum of the digit of a two digit number is 15 if the number formed by reversing the digit is less than the original number by 27 find the number
Answers
Given,
Sum of the two digits = 15
Original number - Reversed number = 27
For, calculating the number we have to first calculate the individual digits of the number.
Let,
The first digit of the original number = x
And, the second digit of the original number = y
(Assume, x and y as the variables,to do the further mathematical calculations.)
According,to the question
x+y = 15 .....(i)
Now,
Original number = (10 × x) + y = 10x+y
Reversed number = (10×y)+x = 10y+x
According to the question,
(10x+y)-(10y+x) = 27
10x+y-10y-x = 27
9x-9y = 27
9(x-y) = 27
x-y = 3 .....(ii)
By adding i and ii,we get that ;
x+y+x-y = 15+3
2x = 18
x = 9
Now,putting the value of x in the equation i,we get that ;
9+y = 15
y = 15-9
y = 6
Original number = (9×10)+6 = 96
Hence,the original number is 96.
