Answer to Question 19
1. Find how far each guess is from 427. 427 − 400 = 27 and 450 − 427 = 23. 23 is less than 27, so Tom's guess is closer.
2. 10 more than 427 adds 1 to the tens digit: Ali guesses 437.
3. 100 less than 427 takes 1 from the hundreds digit: Sara guesses 327.
4. Compare the hundreds first: 327 is the only number with 3 hundreds. Then for 400, 437 and 450 compare the tens: 327, 400, 437, 450.
Answer to Question 20
Let the ones digit be o. Then the hundreds digit is o + 4 and the tens digit is 0. Sum of digits: (o + 4) + 0 + o = 10, so 2o + 4 = 10. That gives 2o = 6, so o = 3.
The hundreds digit is 3 + 4 = 7. The code is 703. Check: 7 − 3 = 4 and 7 + 0 + 3 = 10. Only one value of o works, so there is only one code.
