Problem

The four-digit number is divisible by nine, with the tens digit and the units digit. How many different such four-digit numbers could represent?
Solution
Since and is divisible by 9, must be at least 2. Therefore, the least multiple of 9 greater than 2500 is 2502. We may add multiples of 9 to 2502 to obtain all the multiples of 9 between 2500 and 2600, and 90 is the greatest multiple of 9 we may add without exceeding 2600. In other words, the multiples of 9 between 2500 and 2600 are the integers of the form , where ranges from 0 to 10. There are values of between 0 and 10 inclusive.
Final answer
11
