Solution Better late than never Comment 5 of 5 |
A. all 3 digit numbers from 100 to 999
how many: 999 - 100 + 1 = 1099
average: (100 + 999)/2 = 450
450*1099 = 494550

B.  all digits odd:
how many: 5*5*5 = 125
avg of each digit is avg{1,3,5,7,9}
average: 555
125*555 = 69375

C.  all digits even:
how many: 4*5*5 = 100
the average of the 1st digit is avg{2,4,6,8}
the average of the other digits is avg{0,2,4,6,8}
average: 544
100*544  = 54400

Required total = A - B - C = 
494550 - 69375 - 54400  =    370775
