To find the diver's elevation when he is 23% of the way down, we need to calculate 23% of 97.2 feet.
23% of 97.2 feet is calculated as (23/100) * 97.2
= 0.23 * 97.2
= 22.356 feet
Since the diver is going down, the elevation will be negative. Therefore, the diver's elevation when he is 23% down is approximately -22.4 feet.
