Answer:
Proved
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]UPC = 0-58200-48826-5[/tex]
Required
Show that it is valid
Add up the elements at odd positions
[tex]Odd = 0 + 8 + 0 + 4+8+6[/tex]
[tex]Odd = 26[/tex]
Multiply by 3
[tex]Product = 26 * 3[/tex]
[tex]Product = 78[/tex]
Add up the elements at even positions
[tex]Even = 5 + 2 + 0 + 8 + 2 + 5[/tex]
[tex]Even = 22[/tex]
Add up both results
[tex]Result = 78 +22[/tex]
[tex]Result = 100[/tex]
Take modulus of 10
[tex]Result \% 10 = 100 \% 10[/tex]
[tex]Result \% 10 = 0[/tex]
Since the result of the modulus is 0, then the number is valid
