Alphabet values with A=1. If ACT = 24 (A=1, C=3, T=20 ⇒ 1+3+20), then what is FAT?

Introduction / Context:
This question uses the standard A1Z26 scheme where A=1, B=2, …, Z=26. A word’s value is the sum of its letter values.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• ACT = 1 + 3 + 20 = 24 (as given).
• We need FAT.

Concept / Approach:
Map F, A, and T to their numeric positions, then add them.

Step-by-Step Solution:
F = 6A = 1T = 20Sum = 6 + 1 + 20 = 27.

Verification / Alternative check:
Cross-check with the provided example methodology (A1Z26), ensuring consistent mapping.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• All other values are off by 1–3, typical of arithmetic slips.

Common Pitfalls:
Using zero-based indexing or misreading T as 19 instead of 20.

Final Answer:
27
