So we know that Mt. Everest has a peak that is 29,029 feet above sea level.
To find how much Mauna Kea is above sea level then we would subtract the feet below sea level (19,669ft) from the overall height of the mountain (33,465ft). Like this:
33,465ft - 19669ft = 13,796 feet
Now that we know both mountains height above sea level, we can answer the question.
We will take Everest's height above sea level and subtract Mauna's height above sea level. Like this:
29,029ft - 13,796ft = 15,233
Therefore, Mt. Everest is 15,233 feet taller above sea level than Mauna Kea.
