Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

first calculate the sum of the first 10-digits

[tex]2+5+5+2+9+1+6+8+5+5\\sum=48[/tex]

now, in order apply mod 9. we can subtract the above number by the closest multiple of 9.

45 is the multiple of 9 that is closest to our sum, i.e 48

[tex]48 mod 9 = 48 - 9(5)[/tex]

[tex] 48 mod 9 = 3[/tex]
