It takes 1629 digits to number the pages of a book. How many pages does the book have?
+781 From numbers 1-9, 9 digits are used. From numbers 10-99, 90*2=180 digits are used. From numbers 100-999, 900*3=2700 digits are used. The number of pages in this book must fall somewhere between 100-999. We already have 180+9=189 digits.
1629-189=1440.
We divide 1440 by 3 to find the number of pages between 100-999. We get 480 pages.
