    Someone deleted the wrong thread, so I have to try again.

    4 * 12^0 + 7 * 12^1 + 11*12^2

    A is defined as 11.

    This assumes that the right most digit is the least significant.

    INCORRECT as ebanes states: A=10

    Actually, the 'A' in base 12 is equivalent to 10 in base 10 ('B' would be 11). So you get:

    10 * 12^2 + 7 * 12^1 + 4*12^0
