Answer:

The number is 8924001

Explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The number is 7 digits number

- When it rounded to the nearest ten thousands the answer

is 8920000

- The digits in the tens and hundreds places are the least and

same value

- The value of the thousands digit is double that of the ten thousands

digit

- The sum of all its digits is 24

* At first lets find the sum of the digits of the rounded number

The sum of the digits of 8920000 = 8 + 9 + 2 = 19

The sum of all digits of the number before rounding is 24

∴ The sum of the unit digit, tens digit, hundreds digit and

thousands digit = 24 - 19 = 5

u + t + h + th = 5, where u is the unit digit, t is the tens digit, h is

the hundreds digit and th is the thousands digit

∵ The value of the thousands digit is double that of the ten

thousands digit

∵ The ten thousands digit is 2

The thousands digit = 2 × 2 = 4

∴ u + t + h + 4 = 5 ⇒ subtract 4 from both sides

u + t + h = 1

∵ The digits in the tens and hundreds places are the least

and same value

∵ The least digit is 0

tens and thousands digits are 0

∴ u + 0 + 0 = 1 ⇒ u = 1

∴ The unit digit is 1

∵ the number is 892(th)(h)(t)(u)

The number before rounding is 8924001
