Marcy bets that if you do a series of mathematical computations and activities, she can guess the color you chose. First you must find your special number by completing the following:

Take the number of your birth month.

Add 24.

Add the difference you obtain when you subtract the number of your birth month from 12.

Divide by 3.

Add 13.

The result is your special number.

To each letter in the alphabet, assign a number that is the letter's order when alphabetical, that is, a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, d = 4, and so on. Find the letter that corresponds to your special number. Next write the name of a color that starts with this letter. What color will Marcy predict is your color? Explain why this works.
