Question

A mountain climber ascends a mountain to its peak. The peak is 12,740 ft above sea level. The climber then descends 200 ft to meet a fellow climber. Find the climber’s elevation above sea level after meeting the other climber.

Answer 1

I think it is 12,540, this is because 12,740-200 is equal to 12,540

Answer 2

The answer is 12,540. 

12,740 - 200 = 12,540

Hope this helps!
