One column of numbers consists of 33, 58, and 17. When the
digits of the numbers are added together, the result is 3+3+
5+ 8 + 1 + 7 = 27, and when the digits of 27 are then added
together, the end result is 2 + 7 = 9. If the same process is
performed on the numbers in a second column, what can be
concluded?
O A. If the end result from the second column is also 9,
then the sum of the numbers in the first column is
equal to the sum of the numbers in the second
column.
B. If the end result from the second column is also 9
then the sum of the numbers in the first column is
not equal to the sum of the numbers in the second
column.
O C. If the end result from the second column is not 9,
then the sum of the numbers in the first column is
not equal to the sum of the numbers in the second
column.
O D. If the end result from the second column is not 9,
then the sum of the numbers in the first column is
equal to the sum of the numbers in the second
column.
