Cryptograms
Cryptograms are puzzles where some (or all) digits are missing from an arithmetic operation. Tinker with different combinations of numbers and letters to unlock the right answer.
\[\Large \begin{array} {c c c } & \color{blue}A & \color{red}B & \color{orange}C \\ \times& & & 8 \\ \hline \color{blue}A & \color{orange}C & \color{orange}C & \color{orange}C \\ \end{array} \]
In the cryptogram above, \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are distinct digits. Find the value of \(A+B+C+8.\)
