4 answers

To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we need to find 23% of 97.2 feet.

23% of 97.2 feet = 0.23 * 97.2 feet = 22.356 feet.

Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down is 22.356 feet. Answer: \boxed{22.356}.

To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we need to subtract 23% of 97.2 feet from the surface elevation.

23% of 97.2 feet = 0.23 * 97.2 feet = 22.356 feet

Subtracting this from the surface elevation:

97.2 feet - 22.356 feet = 74.844 feet

Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down is 74.844 feet.
