Problem
Eleven members of the Middle School Math Club each paid the same amount for a guest speaker to talk about problem solving at their math club meeting. They paid their guest speaker . What is the missing digit
of this
-digit number?
Solution 1
Since all the eleven members paid the same amount, that means that the total must be divisible by . We can do some trial-and-error to get
, so our answer is
.
~SparklyFlowers
Solution 2
We know that a number is divisible by if the odd numbers added together minus the even numbers added together(or vice versa) is a multiple of
. So, we have
= a multiple of
. The only multiple that works here is
, as
. Thus,
