Problem

For each positive integer $n$ , let $S(n)$ denote the sum of the digits of $n.$ For how many values of $n$ is $n + S(n) + S(S(n)) = 2007?$

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 2 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 3 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 4 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 5$

Solution

Solution 1

For the sake of notation let $T(n) = n + S(n) + S(S(n))$ . Obviously $n<2007$ . Then the maximum value of $S(n) + S(S(n))$ is when $n = 1999$ , and the sum becomes $28 + 10 = 38$ . So the minimum bound is $1969$ . We do casework upon the tens digit:

Case 1: $196u \Longrightarrow u = 9$ . Easy to directly disprove.

Case 2: $197u$ . $S(n) = 1 + 9 + 7 + u = 17 + u$ , and $S(S(n)) = 8+u$ if $u \le 2$ and $S(S(n)) = 2 + (u-3) = u-1$ otherwise.

Subcase a: $T(n) = 1970 + u + 17 + u + 8 + u = 1995 + 3u = 2007 \Longrightarrow u = 4$ . This exceeds our bounds, so no solution here.

Subcase b: $T(n) = 1970 + u + 17 + u + u - 1 = 1986 + 3u = 2007 \Longrightarrow u = 7$ . First solution.

Case 3: $198u$ . $S(n) = 18 + u$ , and $S(S(n)) = 9 + u$ if $u \le 1$ and $2 + (u-2) = u$ otherwise.

Subcase a: $T(n) = 1980 + u + 18 + u + 9 + u = 2007 + 3u = 2007 \Longrightarrow u = 0$ . Second solution.

Subcase b: $T(n) = 1980 + u + 18 + u + u = 1998 + 3u = 2007 \Longrightarrow u = 3$ . Third solution.

Case 4: $199u$ . But $S(n) > 19$ , and $n + S(n)$ clearly sum to $> 2007$ .

Case 5: $200u$ . So $S(n) = 2 + u$ and $S(S(n)) = 2 + u$ (recall that $n < 2007$ ), and $2000 + u + 2 + u + 2 + u = 2004 + 3u = 2007 \Longrightarrow u = 1$ . Fourth solution.
