Part 2.
1.   Determine the check digit for the postal money order with the identification numbers
4936024813.

Steps A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12

UPC 0 3 6 9 4 0 3 0 0 2 1 3

Odd positioned number 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1

multiplied to 3

Results 0 3 18 9 12 0 9 0 0 2 3 3

Sum 59

The UPC is invalid because the total doesn’t equate to a

multiple of 10

4.   Determine the check digit of the given UPC 1 0302 212281

Steps A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12

UPC 1 0 3 0 2 2 1 2 2 8 1
 Odd positioned number 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3
multiplied to 3

Results 3 0 9 0 6 2 3 2 6 8 3

Sum 42

50 - 42 = 8. The check number is 8.

5.  A packaging of a box of kitchen tools was damaged such that the 7th digit of the 12-digit
UPC is no longer readable but the remaining 11 digits were 23015691357.  Determine the 7th

Steps A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10 A11 A12

UPC 2 3 0 1 5 6 x 9 1 3 5 7

Odd positioned number 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1 3 1

multiplied to 3

Results 6 3 0 1 15 6 3x 9 3 3 15 7

Sum 68 + 3x = 80
3x = 80 - 68
3x = 12
X = 4 (7th digit)
