Problem

Let $P(n)$ and $S(n)$ denote the product and the sum, respectively, of the digits of the integer $n$. For example, $P(23) = 6$ and $S(23) = 5$. Suppose $N$ is a two-digit number such that $N = P(N) + S(N)$. What is the units digit of $N$?

$\textbf{(A) }2\qquad\textbf{(B) }3\qquad\textbf{(C) }6\qquad\textbf{(D) }8\qquad\textbf{(E) }9$
