  1. Ava is tracking the altitude of a hot air balloon during a science expedition. The balloon starts at 1,250 meters above sea level. It first ascends 850 meters to pass over a mountain range. Then it descends 1,100 meters to enter a valley. Finally, it ascends 675 meters to reach its observation position. What is the balloon's final altitude relative to sea level?
  2. Emma's bank account balance is -$135. She deposits $79. What is her new balance?
  3. Matiu is exploring a vertical cave system. The entrance to the cave is at an elevation of 0 meters. He rappels down a vertical shaft that ends at a point represented on a coordinate grid as (0, -124). He then climbs up a slope to a second chamber that is at (0, -46). A vertical chimney (a narrow shaft) leads further down to a deep pool at (0, -238). On a separate coordinate map of the cave, the vertical line representing the main shaft connects the entrance (0, 0) to the bottom of the first drop (0, -124). How many meters higher is the second chamber than the deep pool?
