Question

The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 14. When the digits are

reversed, the new number is 36 less than the original number. Find the
original number. Check your answer.
O The original number is 59.
O The original number is 68.
O The original number is 86.
O The original number is 95

Answer 1

First, lets figure out which ones add up to 14

5+9=14

6+8=14

8+6=14

9+5=14

They all add up to 14.

Next, reverse the digits and see if it is 36 less than the original number

95 is not 36 less than 59

86 is not 36 less than 68

68 is only 18 less than 86

59 is 36 less than 95

So, the answer would be 95.
