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
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 Isabelle exchanges U.S. dollars, she gets Canadian dollars and 
Canadian dollars extra. Isabelle received a total of Canadian dollars extra, therefore she exchanged U.S. dollars 
times. Thus 
.
