Ally’s hotel room is on the 12th floor. She parked her car in the underground parking garage 4 levels below ground level. How many floors did Ally travel in the elevator to get from her car up to her room?
Ally traveled from the underground parking garage, which is 4 levels below ground level, to her hotel room on the 12th floor.
To calculate the number of floors Ally traveled in the elevator, we need to add the number of floors between the underground parking garage and ground level, and then add the number of floors between ground level and the 12th floor.
Since Ally parked her car 4 levels below ground level, this means she has to travel 4 floors from the garage to ground level.
From ground level to the 12th floor, there are 12 - 1 = <<12-1=11>>11 floors.
Adding the number of floors between the garage and ground level (4 floors) to the number of floors between ground level and the 12th floor (11 floors), Ally traveled 4 + 11 = <<4+11=15>>15 floors in the elevator. Answer: \boxed{15}.
To get from her car to her hotel room, Ally needs to travel from the underground parking garage to the 12th floor.
Given that the car is parked 4 levels below ground level and her hotel room is on the 12th floor, we calculate the total number of floors Ally has to travel:
Number of floors from the parking garage to the ground level = 4
Number of floors from the ground level to her hotel room = 12
Therefore, Ally needs to travel through a total of 4 + 12 = 16 floors in the elevator to get from her car to her hotel room.
To determine how many floors Ally traveled in the elevator, we need to calculate the difference between the level of her hotel room and the level of the underground parking garage.
Given that Ally's hotel room is on the 12th floor and the parking garage is 4 levels below ground level, we can calculate the total number of floors traveled by adding the number of levels above ground to the number of levels below ground:
Number of floors traveled = 12 floors (above ground) + 4 floors (below ground)
Number of floors traveled = 16 floors
Therefore, Ally traveled 16 floors in the elevator to get from her car up to her room.
