Question

Dave loves under water diving. His house boat is 250 feet above sea level. He jumped from that level. He went 600 feet below sea level. How many feet did Dave go under the water?

Answer 1

850
200feet plus 600 feet equals 850 meters

Answer 2

600 feet

Explanation:

The question says "How many feet did Dave go under the water", many people may think that the answer is 850 feet, but remember that, at the beginning, he was 250 feet above the sea level, meaning that in those 250 feet, he was not under the water level.
