Solution

As per the given information, initial position of motor was 368 m.
During the ride, changes in elevation was 554 m, -278m, 110m, -132 m, 488 m, and 90 m.

Net change in position = 554 + (-278) +(110) + (-132) + (488) + 90= 832m.

Initial position was 368m. So at the end of the ride the position would be = 368 +832 = 1200 m
