He runs up five flights of stairs, then runs up 6 flights of stairs, then runs down 8 flights of stairs, then runs up four flights of stairs, and then stops.

Answer: I believe the answer is 77 feet

Step-by-step explanation: Once you finish the math(5+6-8+4=7), you end up with John 7 flights of stairs up. You then take 7 and then multiply it by 11 to get 77 feet above the ground when he stops. This is assuming that the flights of stairs are stories high.

0+5+6-8+4=11-8+4 3+4=7

total 7 flights

7*11 ft=77ft

He is 77 ft above ground when he stops
