I would have to say 15 total ways

Alex Haas · Answer 2

The distribution of the possible digits of the numbers are

1.) 9, 9, 9, 9, 3 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 4! = 120 / 24 = 5]

2.) 9, 9, 9, 8, 4 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 3! = 120 / 6 = 20]

3.) 9, 9, 9, 7, 5 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 3! = 120 / 6 = 20]

4.) 9, 9, 9, 6, 6 [Number of arrangements = 5! / (3! x 2!) = 120 / 12 = 10]

5.) 9, 9, 8, 8, 5 [Number of arrangements = 5! / (2! x 2!) = 120 / 4 = 30]

6.) 9, 9, 8, 7, 6 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 2! = 120 / 2 = 60]

7.) 9, 9, 7, 7, 7 [Number of arrangements = 5! / (3! x 2!) = 120 / 12 = 10]

8.) 9, 8, 8. 8, 6 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 3! = 120 / 6 = 20]

9.) 9, 8, 8, 7, 7 [Number of arrangements = 5! / (2! x 2!) = 120 / 4 = 30]

10.) 8, 8, 8, 8, 7 [Number of arrangements = 5! / 4! = 120 / 24 = 5]

Number of 5 digit numbers whose digit sum up to 39 = 5 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 30 + 60 + 10 + 20 + 30 + 5 = 210
