Answer:12,450
Step-by-step explanation: Since the climber descends to meet a fellow climber by 200 ft you are going to subtract so the equation is going to be 12,740-200 ft so what does that equal it equals 12,540 ft because it is only subtracting 740-200 ft so 740-200=540 so your answer would more likely be 12,540 not the negative answer.
