1. Variant 1.

Find the smallest natural number whose sum of digits is 47.
Answer: 299999.

Solution. To find the smallest number, you need to get by with as few digits as possible. The largest digit is 9, so you can't do with fewer than 6 digits ( $5 \cdot 9<47$ ). We cannot put less than 2 in the first place, and by taking 2, the other five digits are uniquely determined: they are nines.
