The Value of Months		  
Q If March = 43 and May = 39, then by the same logic, what does July equal?


  
A July = 68. Each letter is replaced by the number of its position in the English alphabet. Then the numbers are added together.

STRATEGY: Look for a pattern – think of ways letters are represented by numbers.
