Problem

If $A$ , $B$ , and $C$ each represent a single digit and they satisfy the equation $\begin{array}{cccc}& A & B & C \\ \times & & &3 \\ \hline & 7 & 9 & C\end{array},$ find $3A+2B+C$ .

Solution

Notice that $C$ can only be $0$ and $5$ . However, $790$ is not divisible by $3$ , so the number $ABC = 265$ . Thus, $3A + 2B + C = \boxed{23}$

Solution 2

Clearly we see $C=1$ does not work, but $C=5$ works with simple guess-and-check. We have $AB5=\frac{795}{3}=265$ , so $A=2$ and $B=6$ . The answer is $3(2)+6(2)+1(5)=\boxed{23}$
