Every letter in the alphabet has a number value that is equal to its place in the alphabet; the letter A has a value of 1 and C a value of 3. The number value of a word is obtained by adding up the value of the letters in the word and then multiplying the sum of the length of the word. The word
A. 12
B. 36
C. 48
D. 92
E. 108
B = 2, E = 5, D = 4, A = 1
so the sum of the letters would be 12. 12 multiplied by 4 (the length of the word) is 48.
