Problem 15

Let the letters $F$,$L$,$Y$,$B$,$U$,$G$ represent distinct digits. Suppose $\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}~\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}$ is the greatest number that satisfies the equation

\[8\cdot\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}~\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}=\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}~\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}.\]

What is the value of $\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}+\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 1089 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1098 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 1107 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 1116 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1125$

Solution 1

The highest that $FLYFLY$ can be would have to be $124124$, and it cannot be higher than that because then it would exceed the $6$-digit limit set on $BUGBUG$.

So, if we start at $124124\cdot8$, we get $992992$, which would be wrong because both $B \& U$ would be $9$, and the numbers cannot be repeated between different letters.

If we move on to the next highest, $123123$, and multiply by $8$, we get $984984$. All the digits are different, so $FLY+BUG$ would be $123+984$, which is $1107$. So, the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}1107}$.

Solution 2

Notice that $\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}~\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y} = 1000(\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}) + \underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}$.

Likewise, $\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}~\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G} = 1000(\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}) + \underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}$.

Therefore, we have the following equation:

$8 \times 1001(\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}) = 1001(\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G})$.

Simplifying the equation gives

$8(\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}) = (\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G})$.

We can now use our equation to test each answer choice.

We have that $123123 \times 8 = 984984$, so we can find the sum:

$\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}+\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G} = 123 + 984 = 1107$.

So, the correct answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 1107}$.

Solution 3 (Answer Choices)

Note that $FLY+BUG = 9 \cdot FLY$. Thus, we can check the answer choices and find $FLY$ through each of the answer choices, we find the 1107 works, so the answer is $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 1107}$.
