Answer:

(200+1,500) - 500 = 1,200 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

the hiker started at 200 ft then went 1500 more feet. (add it up) Then, she descends (goes down) 500 feet. So let's subtract 500 feet from the sum of 200 and 1500. ( (200+1500 equals 1700, then subtract 500 which will be 1200.) ) So, she is 1200 feet above sea level during the 10 minute break.
