    Solution

    In this secret code language, each letter of the word is assigned a number corresponding to its position in the alphabet: • A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, ..., H = 8, O = 15, T = 20, E = 5, L = 12, and so on. For HOTEL: • H = 8, O = 15, T = 20, E = 5, L = 12. • The code for HOTEL is calculated as: • (8+15+20+5+12)ƗNumber of letters in HOTEL (5)=60Ɨ5=300.Ā  For BORE: • B = 2, O = 15, R = 18, E = 5. • The code for BORE is calculated as: •  HOTEL has 5 letters, and the sum of the letters’ values is 60, so the total code is 300. •  BORE has 4 letters, and the sum of the letters’ values is 40, so the total code is 160.
