Each letter stands for a number. Do the sum, then turn the answer back into a letter.
Question 1 of 12
A = 12 B = 7 C = 2 D = 10 E = 11 Work out (E × C) − A and give the answer as a letter.
Swap each letter for its number as you go. 11 × 2 = 22. Then take away A, which is 12: 22 − 12 = 10. Now look back at the list for the letter worth 10 — that is D. The mistake to watch for is giving the number as the answer instead of turning it back into a letter.
The answer is A. Swap each letter for its number as you go. 11 × 2 = 22. Then take away A, which is 12: 22 − 12 = 10. Now look back at the list for the letter worth 10 — that is D. The mistake to watch for is giving the number as the answer instead of turning it back into a letter.
