Answer:

27

Explanation:

Division rule for 3: Sum of the digit is divisible by 3.

Division rule for 9: Sum of the digit is divisible by 9.

Lets define x as the missing digit.

7 + 6 + 8 + 4 + x = number divisible by both 3 and 9

7 + 6 + 8 + 4 = 25

25 + x = number divisible by both 3 and 9

Since a single digit cannot be 10 or greater, we have 5 numbers that are possible.

25, 26, 27, 28, 29

Which one is divisible by 3 and 9?

27
