You are given the numbers 777, 888 and 999. Using the numbers once and adding, subtracting, multiplying or dividing, how can you make 999?
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
If other operators were allowed, another solution would be 999 modulo (888 x 777). I’m sure there are more solutions.
(7 x 7 x 7) + (9 x 9 x 8) + ((9 – 8) x 8) = 999
