Problem
A five-digit palindrome is a positive integer with respective digits , where is non-zero. Let be the sum of all five-digit palindromes. What is the sum of the digits of ?
Solution One
For each digit there are (ways of choosing and ) palindromes. So the s contribute to the sum. For each digit there are (since ) palindromes. So the s contribute to the sum. Similarly, for each there are palindromes, so the contributes to the sum.
It just so happens that so the sum of the digits of the sum is , or .
(Solution by AwesomeToad)
Solution Two
As there are only five digit palindromes, it is sufficient to add up all of them.
\[+ 99799 + 99899 + 99999 = 49500000 = 4 + 9 + 5 = \Boxed{18} \to B\] (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
