Answer: C
Concepts:divisibilitydigitscasework
Small hint:
Group numbers by their units digit
Big hint:
Remember numbers ending in 00 do not work
Solution:
Numbers ending in 1,1, 2,2, or 55 all work in the lists 11,11, 21,21, 31,31, and 41;41; 12,12, 22,22, 32,32, and 42;42; and 15,15, 25,25, 35,35, and 45.45. This gives 1212 numbers.
The remaining working numbers are 24,24, 33,33, 36,36, 44,44, and 48.48. Numbers ending in 00 do not work because division by 00 is undefined.
Thus there are 12+5=1712+5=17 such numbers.
Thus, C is the correct answer.
