on floor 21. It goes down 2 floors 5 times, and then it goes up 9 floors. Which elevator ends on a
higher floor?

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is The 2nd elevator

Step-by-step explanation:

1st Elevator

5+12 = 17

17- 8 = 9

so 1st elevator ends on floor 9th

2nd Elevator

21-10 = 11

11+9 = 20

2nd Elevator ends on floor 20th

so therefore the elevator that ends on the higher floor is the 2nd elevator
