The temperature of the earth’s atmosphere drops about 5℃ for every 1000m of elevation above earth's surface. The earth temperature at ground level is 11.33℃ and the pressure is 760 mmHg. Solve for the elevation at which the pressure is 380 mmHg. Assume that Air is an ideal gas

p = 760 - 5 * h/1000
so, now just find h when
760 - .005h = 380
