Problem

When Yunji added all the integers from $1$ to $9$, she mistakenly left out a number. Her incorrect sum turned out to be a square number. What number did Yunji leave out?

$\textbf{(A) } 5\qquad\textbf{(B) } 6\qquad\textbf{(C) } 7\qquad\textbf{(D) } 8\qquad\textbf{(E) } 9$

Solution 1

The sum of the digits from $1-9$ are $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 45$. Note that one of the answer choices (that is equal to Yunju's digits) subtracted from her sum of $45$ must equal a square.

Note that $6^2 = 36$ is a very close square to the sum of 45. Checking, we see that $45 - 9 = 36 = 6^2$ works.

Therefore, the missing number is $\boxed{\textbf{(E) } \text{9}}$.
