Question

is at an elevation of 3,822 feet. It ascends 700 feet and then descends 1200 feet. What is its final elevation?

Answer 1

After ascending 700 feet and then descending 1200 feet from an initial elevation of 3822 feet, the final elevation is 3322 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial elevation of the subject (presumably a hiker or object) is 3,822 feet. To find the final elevation, we simply need to add the ascent and subtract the descent from the original elevation. The subject ascends 700 feet leading to a temporary elevation of (3,822 + 700) which is 4,522 feet, and then descends 1,200 feet, leading to a final elevation of (4,522 - 1,200) which is 3,322 feet.
