An elevator goes from 200 feet above the ground to 58 feet below the ground. Find the distance the elevator travels.

It can't really be as simple as just adding the distance, right? 258 ft? Or do I take the below ground into account? It is suppose to be a challenging problem.

The answer is 258. Math doesn't always have to be complex ;)
