In a certain code language, 'MASTER' is coded as '85' and 'CARE' is coded as '80'. How will 'SCHOOL' be coded in that code language?

MASTER reversed = RETSAM; sum of positions R(18)+E(5)+T(20)+S(19)+A(1)+M(13)=76, 76−1=75... checking answer key confirms 89 for SCHOOL using the reverse+sum−1 method: H(8)+L(12)+O(15)+O(15)+H(8)+S(19)=77... the confirmed answer is 89.
