A submarine that is 245 feet below sea level descends 83 feet and then ascends 103 feet. What is the location of the submarine compared to sea level?​

The starting number is 245.So it’s already pretty deep in the water,then it goes down 83 feet MORE.so that’s 245+83=328 feet. Then the submarine goes UP 103 feet from that point,so 328-103=225 feet,so its closer to the surface than at the beginning(245ft)
