An [[angle]] is drawn on a set of equally spaced [[parallel]] [[line]]s as shown. The [[ratio]] of the [[area]] of shaded [[region]] <math> \mathcal{C} </math> to the area of shaded region <math> \mathcal{B} </math> is 11/5. Find the ratio of shaded region <math> \mathcal{D} </math> to the area of shaded region <math> \mathcal{A}.  </math>

== Solution ==
 
There are <math>\frac{1000}{10} = 100</math> numbers up to 1000 that have 0 as their units digit. All of the other excluded possibilities for <math>a</math> are when <math>a</math> or <math>b</math> have a 0 in the tens digit, or if the tens digit of <math>a</math> is 0 or 9. Excluding the hundreds, which were counted above already, there are <math>9 \cdot 2 = 18</math> numbers in every hundred numbers that have a tens digit of 0 or 9, totaling <math>10 \cdot 18 = 180</math> such numbers. However, the numbers from 1 to 9 and 991 to 999 do not have 0s, so we must subtract <math>18</math> from that to get <math>162</math>. Therefore, there are <math>1000 - (100 + 162) = 738</math> such ordered pairs.
