Lindsey went skydiving. When she jumped out of the plane, its elevation was 13,000 feet. She was in free-fall for 10,000 feet, and then she deployed her parachute. At what elevation did Lindsey deploy her parachute?

Answer:

3,000ft

Explanation:

First set up the equation:

Start: 13,000 ft
Middle: 10,000 ft
End: ??

Lindsey started at 13,000ft, dropped 10,000ft, and then the remainder of it is what we are asked to find out. So all we have to do is 13,000 - 10,000 which equals 3,000.
