    Find the odd number less than 100 that is divisible by 9, and when divided by 10 has a remainder of 7.

    From our divisibility calculator, we see a number is divisible by 9 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 9.

    Starting from 1 to 99, we find all numbers with a digit sum of 9.

    This would be digits with 0 and 9, 1 and 8, 2 and 7, 3 and 6, and 4 and 5.
    9
    18
    27
    36
    45
    54
    63
    72
    81
    90

    Now remove even numbers since the problem asks for odd numbers
    9
    27
    45
    63
    81

    Now, divide each number by 10, and find the remainder
    9/10 = 0
    27/10 = 2 R 7

    We stop here. 27 is an odd number, less than 100, with a remainder of 7 when divided by 10.
