Answer 1

If you add the 229 value that you to the 607 in the license plate, you get the 836 number you say you're supposed to get, so it looks like your total variable is right, but you just need to add it to the number from the input.

The stuff everyone else is saying about shifting the ASCII values is for when you're determining the first character in the output.
