-The ocean surface is at $0 \mathrm{ft}$ elevation. A diver is underwater at an elevation of $-173 \mathrm{ft}$ near a rock formation. In this area, the ocean floor has an elevation of $-296 \mathrm{ft}$. The rock formation rises to a peak $169 \mathrm{ft}$ above the ocean floor. How many feet below the top of the rock formation is the diver?
A) $46 \mathrm{ft}$
B) $4 \mathrm{ft}$
C) $127 \mathrm{ft}$

The peak of the rock formation is at $-296 \mathrm{ft} + 169 \mathrm{ft} = -127 \mathrm{ft}$. The diver is at $-173 \mathrm{ft}$, so the difference is $-127 \mathrm{ft} - (-173 \mathrm{ft}) = 46 \mathrm{ft}$.
