Brain Buster Riddle #6 – The Mystery of the Three-Digit Number

Brain Buster Riddle

Welcome to today's Brain Buster Riddle! This one is all about finding the right digits using clues. Can you figure it out?

I am a three-digit number. My tens digit is five more than my ones digit, and my hundreds digit is eight less than my tens digit. What number am I?

Let’s break it down: The ones digit is x. The tens digit is 5 more than the ones digit, so it’s x + 5. The hundreds digit is 8 less than the tens digit, so it’s (x + 5) - 8 = x - 3. Now, let's find a digit for x that satisfies all the conditions: The ones digit (x) must be a valid digit between 0 and 9. The tens digit must be x + 5, which also must be between 0 and 9. The hundreds digit must be x − 3, which also must be between 0 and 9. Therefore, the number is 194.
