for apple:
a=1,p=16,p=16,l=12,e=5 in alphabatic order.
now add all of them means 1+16+16+12+5=50.
and here code of apple is 118. so difference between 118 and 50 is 118- 50=68.

same procedure for monkey:
m=13,o=15,n=14,k=11,e=5,y=25 total=83 so add 68+83=151 so 151 is the code of monkey

Using the numerical equivalent of alphabets, we have the following

A=1 P=15 L=12 and E=5

we start at this pattern

-A^2 + P^2 - P^2 + L^2 - E^2

= -(1)^2 + (16)^2 - (16)^2 + (12)^2 - (5)^2
= -1 + 256 - 256 + 144 - 25 = 118

for MONKEY, M=13, O=15, N=14, K=11, E=5 and Y=25 (large numbers XD)

so the formula would be

-(13)^2 + (15)^2 - (14)^2 + (11)^2 - (5)^2 + (25)^2
= 581

so MONKEY is coded as 581
