Evaluating, we get f(132)=132+1+3+2=138.
Suppose that n is equal to
the 3-digit positive integer abc.
Then f(n)=f(abc)=100a+10b+c+a+b+c=101a+11b+2c.
Since f(n)=175, then 101a+11b+2c=175.
It cannot be the case that $a ≥
2,sinceifwehada ≥
2,then101a ≥ 202$
which is too large, noting that 11b+2c is always at least 0.
Therefore, a<2 which means
that a=1.
When a=1, we get 101+11b+2c=175 or 11b+2c=74.
It cannot be the case that $b ≥
7,sinceifwehadb ≥
7,then11b ≥ 77$ which
is too large, noting that 2c is
always at least 0.
Therefore, b<7. If b=6, then 66+2c=74 or 2c=8, and so c=4.
If b≤5, then 11b≤55, and so 2c≥74−55=19, which is not possible
since c≤9.
We can confirm that f(164)=164+1+6+4=175, and so n=164.
Suppose that n is equal to
the 3-digit positive integer pqr.
Then f(pqr)=100p+10q+r+p+q+r, and
so 101p+11q+2r=204.
If p≥3, then 101p≥303, and so p=1 or p=2.
If p=1, then 101+11q+2r=204 or 11q+2r=103.
Since r≤9, then 2r≤18 and so 11q≥103−18=85.
Therefore, q=8 or q=9.
If q=8, then 88+2r=103 or 2r=15, which is not possible since r is an integer.
If q=9, then 99+2r=103 or 2r=4, and so r=2.
In this case, n=192 and we can
confirm that f(192)=192+1+9+2=204.
If p=2, then 202+11q+2r=204 or 11q+2r=2.
The only possible solution to 11q+2r=2 is q=0 and r=1.
In this case, n=201 and we can
confirm that f(201)=201+2+0+1=204.
Therefore, if f(n)=204, then the
possible values of n are 192 and 201.
