Problem
How many three-digit numbers are not divisible by , have digits that sum to less than
, and have the first digit equal to the third digit?
Solution
We use a casework approach to solve the problem. These three digit numbers are of the form .(
denotes the number
). We see that
and
, as
does not yield a three-digit integer and
yields a number divisible by 5.
The second condition is that the sum . When
is
,
,
, or
,
can be any digit from
to
, as
. This yields
numbers.
When , we see that
so
. This yields
more numbers.
When ,
so
. This yields
more numbers.
When ,
so
. This yields

When ,
so
. This yields
more numbers.
Summing, we get
