- The following problem is from both the 2004 AMC 12B #5 and 2004 AMC 10B #7, so both problems redirect to this page.
Problem
On a trip from the United States to Canada, Isabella took U.S. dollars. At the border she exchanged them all, receiving
Canadian dollars for every
U.S. dollars. After spending
Canadian dollars, she had
Canadian dollars left. What is the sum of the digits of
?
Solution 1
Isabella had Canadian dollars. Setting up an equation we get
, which solves to
, and the sum of digits of
is
.
Solution 2
Each time Isabella exchanges U.S. dollars, she gets
Canadian dollars and
Canadian dollars extra. Isabella received a total of
Canadian dollars extra, therefore she exchanged
U.S. dollars
times. Thus
, and the sum of the digits is
.
