== Problem ==
 
 
 
The number <math>2024</math> is written as the sum of not necessarily distinct two-digit numbers. What is the least number of two-digit numbers needed to write this sum?
 
 
 
<math>\textbf{(A) }20\qquad\textbf{(B) }21\qquad\textbf{(C) }22\qquad\textbf{(D) }23\qquad\textbf{(E) }24</math>
 
 
 
== Solution 1 ==
 
 
 
Since we want the least number of two-digit numbers, we maximize the two-digit numbers by choosing as many <math>99</math>s as possible. Since <math>2024=99\cdot20+44\cdot1,</math> we choose twenty <math>99</math>s and one <math>44,</math> for a total of <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B) }21}</math> two-digit numbers.

== Solution 2 ==
 
We claim the answer is <math>21</math>. This can be achieved by adding twenty <math>99</math>'s and a <math>44</math>. To prove that the answer cannot be less than or equal to <math>20</math>, we note that the maximum value of the sum of <math>20</math> or less two digit numbers is <math>20 \cdot 99 = 1980</math>, which is smaller than <math>2024</math>, so we are done. Thus, the answer is <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B) }21}</math>.

== Solution 3 (Same as Solution 1 but Using 100=99+1)==
 
<math>2024=100\cdot20+24</math>. Since <math>100=99+1</math>, <math>2024=(99+1)\cdot20+24=99\cdot20+1\cdot20+24=99\cdot20+44</math>. Therefore a total of <math>\boxed{\textbf{(B) }21}</math> two-digit numbers are needed.

== Solution 4 ==
 
The maximum <math>2</math>-digit number is <math>99</math>, but try <math>100</math>. <math>2024 \div 100</math> is a little more than <math>20</math>, and the remainder is less than <math>100</math>, by intuition, so there's <math>20 +</math> the remainder <math>1 = \boxed{\textbf{(B) }21}</math>.
