Accepted Answer

P + E + S + T = 120. Answer: C. The code assigns a numeric value to each letter based on its alphabetical position multiplied by 2. E is the 5th letter (5 x 2 = 10), J is the 10th letter (10 x 2 = 20), O is the 15th letter (15 x 2 = 30), and T is the 20th letter (20 x 2 = 40). Using this pattern, find the values of P, E, S, and T, then sum them.
