This problem was from my SAT test on May 7th...which I thought the problem was REALLY easy..(well it looked easy), but I couldn't get it.

The problem
n is a two digit number. If n is divided by 10, the remainder is 9. Also, if n is divided by 7, the remainder is 8. What is n?

All the math brainiacs....answer that one please.

You're not stupid, Fae; the person just has the problem incorrect, although I can't remember the numbers now. But yeah, that person definitely has incorrect numbers in the original problem.
