can you finish the problem........

Let the ones digit place be y and ten's place be x

Therefore the number be $10x+y$

Now the product of the digits=$xy$

Given that the product of the digits plus the sum of the digits is equal to the number

Therefore $10x+y=(x\times y)+(x+y)$

$\Rightarrow 9x=xy$

$\Rightarrow y=9$

Therefore the unit digit =$y$=9
