What is the value of <math>\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}+\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}</math>?

==Solution 1==
 +
The highest that <math>FLYFLY</math> can be would have to be <math>124124</math>, and it cannot be higher than that, because then it would be <math>125125</math>, and <math>125125</math> multiplied by 8 is <math>1000000</math>, and then it would exceed the <math>6</math> - digit limit set on <math>BUGBUG</math>.
 +
 
 +
So, if we start at <math>124124\cdot8</math>, we get <math>992992</math>, which would be wrong because both <math>B  \&  U</math> would be <math>9</math>, and the numbers cannot be repeated between different letters.
 +
 
 +
If we move on to the next highest, <math>123123</math>, and multiply by <math>8</math>, we get <math>984984</math>. All the digits are different, so <math>FLY+BUG</math> would be <math>123+984</math>, which is <math>1107</math>. So, the answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(C)}1107}</math>.

Notice that <math>\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}</math>.
 +
 
 +
Likewise, <math>\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}</math>.
 +
 
 +
Therefore, we have the following equation:
 +
 
 +
<math>8 \times 1001(\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}) = 1001(\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G})</math>.

Simplifying the equation gives

<math>8(\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}) = (\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G})</math>.

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

We have that <math>123123 \times 8 = 984984</math>, so we can find the sum:

<math>\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}+\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G} = 123 + 984 = 1107</math>.

==Solution 4==
 +
To solve \( 8 \cdot FLY = BUG \) without guessing, we start by noting that \( FLY \) and \( BUG \) are three-digit numbers with distinct digits. We can write \( FLY = 100F + 10L + Y \) and \( BUG = 100B + 10U + G \), so the equation becomes:
 +
\[
 +
8 \cdot (100F + 10L + Y) = 100B + 10U + G.
 +
\]
 +
Since \( 8 \cdot FLY \) must also be a three-digit number, \( FLY \) must be small, specifically \( 100 \leq FLY \leq 124 \), because \( 8 \cdot 124 = 992 \) (just under 1000). We try \( F = 1 \) (since \( FLY \) must remain three digits), which gives \( B = 8F = 8 \), leading to \( FLY = 123 \) and \( BUG = 8 \cdot 123 = 984 \), where all digits \( 1, 2, 3, 9, 8, 4 \) are distinct. Adding \( FLY + BUG = 123 + 984 = 1107 \), the final answer is \( \boxed{1107} \).

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 be $125125$, and $125125$ multiplied by 8 is $1000000$, and 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 $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 1107}$.

- C. Re

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 $\boxed{\textbf{(C)}\ 1107}$.

Solution 4

To solve \( 8 \cdot FLY = BUG \) without guessing, we start by noting that \( FLY \) and \( BUG \) are three-digit numbers with distinct digits. We can write \( FLY = 100F + 10L + Y \) and \( BUG = 100B + 10U + G \), so the equation becomes: \[ 8 \cdot (100F + 10L + Y) = 100B + 10U + G. \] Since \( 8 \cdot FLY \) must also be a three-digit number, \( FLY \) must be small, specifically \( 100 \leq FLY \leq 124 \), because \( 8 \cdot 124 = 992 \) (just under 1000). We try \( F = 1 \) (since \( FLY \) must remain three digits), which gives \( B = 8F = 8 \), leading to \( FLY = 123 \) and \( BUG = 8 \cdot 123 = 984 \), where all digits \( 1, 2, 3, 9, 8, 4 \) are distinct. Adding \( FLY + BUG = 123 + 984 = 1107 \), the final answer is \( \boxed{1107} \).
