Recall from AMC12A 2022 Problem 16, that <math>1+2+\dots+8 = 6^2</math>. Hence removing <math>9</math> works and our answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(E) }9}</math>.

We can add all the numbers from 1 through 9 using Gauss's trick, and find that the answer is 45. Since we know that all the square numbers below 45 are 36, 25, 16, 9, 4, 1, and 0, and 36 is the only square number that is within 10 numbers from 45, we can conclude that the answer is 45-36, hence the answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(E) }9}</math>.

Problem

When Yunji added all the integers from $1$ to $9$, she mistakenly left out a number. Her incorrect sum turned out to be a square number. What number did Yunji leave out?

$\textbf{(A) } 5\qquad\textbf{(B) } 6\qquad\textbf{(C) } 7\qquad\textbf{(D) } 8\qquad\textbf{(E) } 9$

Solution

You have to add the sum of the numbers 1 through 9, which is 45. After that, you can use the elimination method with subtraction to each number to determine that the answer is 9. -TheRealEinstein24
