What is the minimum value of the sum on the left-hand-side?

What is the maximum value of the sum on the left-hand-side?

I did not understand your question . Could you explain to me ?

"Sum" means "the result, after adding everything up". "Value" is the number you get by adding everything up. "Maximum" means "largest". "Left-hand side" means the side with the letters in it.

For instance, if the letters are allowed to stand for the same value, and if they all stand for the smallest allowed value (between sixty-five and ninety), what value would you get for the sum? Since you used only the smallest allowed value, what then is the minimum value? And so forth.
