Suppose, the seed of any positive integer n is defined as follows:

seed(n) = n, if n < 10

seed(n) = seed(s(n)), otherwise, where s(n) indicates the sum of digits of n.

For example, seed(7) = 7,

seed(248) = seed(2 + 4 + 8) = seed(14) = seed (1 + 4) = seed (5) = 5 etc.

How many positive integers n, such that n < 500, will have seed (n) = 9?
