Rupees are the main currency in The Legend of Zelda games. The value of each rupee is determined by its color. Unfortunately, the rupee denomenations are somewhat different across the games. For the purposes of this problem, we'll assume the following values:

  • Green = 1
  • Blue = 5
  • Yellow = 10
  • Red = 20
  • Purple = 50
  • Orange = 100
  • Silver = 200
  • Big green = 50
  • Big blue = 100
  • Big red = 200
  • Big gold = 300

You'll be provided a cell array of strings indicating the rupees that Link has picked up in his recent adventures. Write a function to return the total value of rupees that he has accumulated in his wallet.

This problem is related to Problem 3026 and Problem 3027.
