Hi, We are Kimberly Whiman and Wendy Kelly. We are from Spokane
Valley Alternative High School. We know that each letter has a
dollar value A=$1, B=$2, C=$3 etc. We wrote out the Alphabet and
each letter's dollar value.
      First we need to find the dollar value of Mathmagic. To
find this we used the calculator. ( 13x1x20x8x13x1x10x9x3) this
equals to $7,300,800.
     Next we need to find the dollar value of Spokane Valley
Alternative High school.  The answer to that was $11,586,960.
 
     To find a $10 word we multiplied 2x5=10 (be). Our $12
 word was L.A. (12x1=12). Our $20 word was B.J. that is my
friends name (2x10=20) . Our $30 word is BO (2x15=30). Our $40
word is Bat (2x1x20=40). Our $50 word was Bee, Our $60 word is
Beef, Our $70 word is cape, Our $80 word is Babe, Our $90 word
is Jake, Our $100 is BIE (this word means a batchalor of
industrial enineering) I didnt get anymore except the lowest
dollar value of a word it is-A, and the most expensive word we
could not find.
 
     We thought it was hard to find words for some of the dollar
amounts.  So one way we tried was to find the factors of that
number and play with the letters we got that way. For e.g.:
                      40                       40
                     /   \                   /   \    
                     4   10                  2   20
                    (D)  (J)                (B)   (T)
                   /  \   / \ 
                   2   2  2  5
                  (B) (B)(B) (E)
 
We knew we could use "A" any time because multiplying by one
comes out the same number. So we chose the second way of
looking at 40 and added and A to get "BAT."
     To try and find the most expensive word we tried to
multiply the most expensive letters, like X, Y, Z. We found the
most expensive word is zhengzhou, this word means city in E.
China. We looked this word up in the dictionary.
 
         See Ya hope we do better next time,
         You need to get a little easier.We
         are in 11th grade and we can't even
         do this stuff.. Thank you Kim and WWendy and Julie Morrill
