A certain street has 1000 buildings. A sign-maker is contracted to number the houses from 1 to 100..

Answer / guest

Divide 1000 building numbers into groups of 100 each as
follow:
(1..100), (101..200), (201..300), ....... (901..1000)

For the first group, sign-maker will need 11 zeroes.
For group numbers 2 to 9, he will require 20 zeroes each.
And for group number 10, he will require 21 zeroes.

The total numbers of zeroes required are
= 11 + 8*20 + 21
= 11 + 160 + 21
= 192
