The total distance between the valley and plane is equal to:
13000-(-120)
13000+120
=14200

To find out how much further to fall subtract the height at which the parachute was opened from the total height...
14200-10500
=3700 feet

She will need to fall another 3700 feet to reach the valley floor.

Hope this helps!
