Found this question in the test today -

if
S C O O B Y + D O O O = B U R I E D

then
B+U+R+I+E+D = ?

NOTE - please do not post the answer as just calculation.

Kindly explain the method.

Thanks.

• O + D = should give a carry
  C = 9 so 9 + 1 (carry value) will give you the value of U
  Then U = 0 with carry 1
  So S = 1 + 1(carry value) = 2 = B
  Therefore
  S=1
  C=9
  U=0
  B=2
  Take O & D value such that it gives a carry
  Take O value < D value
  Therefore O = 4 and D = 9
  
  S=1, C=9 , O=4, B=2, D = 9
  Y+O = D
  Therefore Y=5
  We find all values
  B=2, U=0, R=3, I=8, E=6, D=9
  
  B+U+R+I+E+D = 28
