If EXCELLENT is written as 100 in a certain code language, what will be BRIGHT be coded as

Answer: B

BRIGHT is coded as 64.

The code is the sum of the letters' positions in the alphabet. EXCELLENT checks out:

\[ \begin{aligned} E{+}X{+}C{+}E{+}L &= 5{+}24{+}3{+}5{+}12 \\ {+}L{+}E{+}N{+}T &= 12{+}5{+}14{+}20 \\ \text{total} &= 100 \end{aligned} \]

\[ B{+}R{+}I{+}G{+}H{+}T = 2{+}18{+}9{+}7{+}8{+}20 = 64 \]

90, 84 and 62 do not match this sum.
