Answer:
A. [tex]UPC = 0-03700-80049-9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]ID = 037000[/tex]
[tex]Item\ Number = 80049[/tex]
Required
The valid UPC
First, the UPC is represented as:
UPC = ID followed by item number followed by the checksum
So, we have:
[tex]upc = 0-03700-80049-X[/tex]
To calculate X (the checksum)
Add up digits at odd positions
[tex]Odd = (0 + 7 + 0) + (8 + 0 + 9)[/tex]
[tex]Odd = 24\\[/tex]
Multiply by 3
[tex]Product = Odd * 3[/tex]
[tex]Product = 24 * 3[/tex]
[tex]Product = 72[/tex]
Add up digits at even positions
[tex]Even = (3 + 0 + 0) + (0 + 4)[/tex]
[tex]Even = 7[/tex]
Add the product and the sum of even
[tex]Result = Product + Even[/tex]
[tex]Result = 72+7[/tex]
[tex]Result = 79\\[/tex]
The last digit of the UPC is 9.
Hence, the UPC is:
[tex]UPC = 0-03700-80049-9[/tex]
