I thought of a 2-digit number. It's a multiple of 9 and the sum of its digits is five times smaller than the number itself. What is my number?

Answer: 45

Explanation:

We know that it has to be a 2-digit number. Its the multiple of 9. We see there is a number in the question. Five. I simply took 9 and multiplied it by 5 which gave me a total of 45.

Explanation:

Since the sum of the digits must be an integer, the number itself must also be a multiple of 5.

Lowest common multiple of 5 and 9 = 45.

Therefore the number could be 45 or 90.

5(9 + 0) =/= 90, so 90 is incorrect.

Since 5(4 + 5) = 45, 45 is the answer.
