HOW + MUCH = POWER Then P + O + W + E + R =
12
14
16
18
Explanation:
HOW
+ MUCH
-------------POWER
--------------Here p = 1 and M = 9 because after adding carry bit it gives result 10. Hence O = 0,here three digits 0,1,9 have been used.
Now, put all remaining value in 3rd column and check which value is suitable for H,U and W and we get H = 7,U = 8 and W = 5 and 1 carry which will be added in 4th column.
Now in first column we have W + H = R means 5 + 7 = 2 and 1 carry will add in 2nd column in 2nd column, 0 + C = E,0 + 3 + 1 = 4 so C = 3,E = 4
Therefore,
9837
+ 705
---------10542
---------so P + O + W + E + R = 1 + 0 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 12.
