Hong Kong's tallest building, 2 International Finance Center, is 88 stories tall. The former Sears Tower in Chicago is eight stories taller than the Empire State building in New York City. If all the buildings are stacked on top of each other, the combined Heights would have 300 stories. How many stories does the Sears Tower have?
