One column of numbers consists of 33, 58, and 17. When the digits of the numbers are added together, the result is 3 + 3 + 5 + 8 + 1 + 7 = 27, and when the digits of 27 are then added together, the end result is 2 + 7 = 9. If the same process is performed on the numbers in a second column, what can be concluded? a.If the end result from the second column is also 9, then the sum of the numbers in the first column is equal to the sum of the numbers in the second column. b.If the end result from the second column is also 9, then the sum of the numbers in the first column is not equal to the sum of the numbers in the second column. c.If the end result from the second column is not 9, then the sum of the numbers in the first column is not equal to the sum of the numbers in the second column. d.If the end result from the second column is not 9, then the sum of the numbers in the first column is equal to the sum of the numbers in the second column.excel sum values based on another columnsum if greater than

The 3rd selection seems appropriate.

If the sum of digits is not 9, the sums will not be equal.

(This is a sometimes-useful way to check math operations of all sorts. The process is called "casting out 9s." It not only works on addition and subtraction, but also multiplication. Division can be checked this way, too, by casting the problem as multiplication. (if a/b=c, then bc=a.))
