Problem

How many integers between 200 and 300 have the sum of their digits equal to 15?
Solution
Because the integers are between 200 and 300, we know that the hundreds digit is a 2. Thus, we are looking for two digits that sum to . There are three such pairs of digits: 6 and 7, 5 and 8, and 4 and 9. Each pair yields two possibilities for creating a three-digit integer, since the order matters. Thus, there are such integers.
Final answer
6
