Given that the number is between 100 and
200,
Then the number is a three digit
number.
Then, the hundreds digit is
1.
==> Let the number be x such that "a" is the
tens and "b" is the
units.
Then,
x = 100 + 10a + b
..............(1)
Given that 19 times the sum of the digits
= x
==>19( 1 + a + b) =
x...............(2)
==> 19(1+ a + b) = 100 + 10a +
b
==> 19 + 19a + 19b = 100 + 10a
+b
==> 9a + 18b =
81
Divide by 9:
==> a +
2b = 9................(3)
Also, given that the tens digit =
3 more that the units.
==> a = 3 +
b
We will substitute into
(3)
==> (3+b) + 2b =
9
==> 3 + 3b =
9
==> 3b = 6
==>
b = 2
==> a = 3+ b = 3+2 =
5
==> a =
5
Then the number is: x =
152
To
check:
152 = 19 * (1+5
+2)
152 = 19 * 8
152 = 52
