What is subtraction?

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that reflects the removal of things from a collection. The negative symbol represents subtraction.

Given that the group goes 54.37 feet below in the beginning and then goes 23.67 feet above. Therefore, the net change or the total change in distance from the surface is,

Total change in distance = 54.37 feet - 23.67 feet

                                          = 30.7 feet

Hence, the total change in distance from the surface is 30.7 feet.
