Default Connecting text to numbers

I am trying to create a spreadsheet that calculates prices for customers. I have already created a dropdown menu which displays the items being sold. Now what I need to do is have whatever is selected in the dropdown menu return a numerical value in another cell. Next I need to connect the that value with the next dropdown menu and have that recalculate a new price in a the cell. Example:

First item in drop down menu: A, B, C, D,

If I select A, a price will show up in the next cell

Next item dropdown menu: 1, 2, 3, 4,

If I pick 2, another number will show up in the cell and would be A(price)+2(price).

Is that possible in Excel? If not does anyone know what software can do that?
