AMC 12 late, AIME early
Algebra Difficulty 4.7 Find the answer

1. Let set A={2,0,1,8},B={2aaA}A=\{2,0,1,8\}, B=\{2 a \mid a \in A\}, then the sum of all elements in ABA \cup B is

A number or a short expression. Spacing and $ signs are ignored.

Official solution

Answer: 31.
Solution: It is easy to know that B={4,0,2,16}B=\{4,0,2,16\}, so AB={0,1,2,4,8,16}A \cup B=\{0,1,2,4,8,16\}. The sum of all elements in ABA \cup B is 0+1+2+4+8+16=310+1+2+4+8+16=31.
