According to the given data we have the following:

A submarine was 250m below sea level, therefore, that should be in numbers -250 m because is under the water.

It rose 75m.

Therefore, in order to calculate the new depth of the submarine we would have to make the following calculation:

The new depth of the submarine=-250m + 75m

The new depth of the submarine=-175m

Therefore, the new depth of the submarine is -175m
