Place Value Problem: Finding 289 Using Digit Positions

My ones digit is 9, my hundreds digit is 2, and my tens digit is 8 - who am I?

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given digit values for each place (hundreds, tens, and ones).
• Step 2: Construct the number using the given digit values in the correct positions.
• Step 3: Compare the constructed number with given choices to confirm correctness.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The hundreds digit is 2, the tens digit is 8, and the ones digit is 9.
Step 2: Construct the number by arranging the digits according to place values:
- Hundreds place: 2
- Tens place: 8
- Ones place: 9

Thus, the number is $289$.

Step 3: Among the given choices, the number $289$ matches precisely our constructed number.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $289$.
