The difference between the floors between Pete and his car is 29
Given: Pete is on the 23rd floor and car is parked 6 floors underground.
The first thing we assume before proceeding for the solution is that we are assuming the 0th floor to be the ground level. So floors that are built above the 0th floor are considered as floors above the ground and floor below the 0th floor are considered as the floors below the ground level.
Also as we have assumed 0th floor to be the ground level, the building has no floor named as Ground Floor or floor at the 0th floor. So there are exactly floors 1 to 23 above the ground level and floor -1 to -6 below the ground level. ( We consider the ground level to be neutral. Anything above ground level is conventionally written with a plus sign or no sign and anything below the ground level is conventionally written with a negative sign below it. For calculations this negative sign is not important for this particular sum. It is used only for better understanding)
So for the given question:
Let's say Pete is 23 units above the ground and the car is 6 units below the ground.
Therefore the total separation of floors between Pete and his car can be calculated as:
Total number of floors above the ground level + Total number of floors below the ground level
Total number of floors above the ground level = 23
Total number of floors below the ground level = 6
Total separation of floors between Pete and his car = 23 + 6 = 29
Hence, the difference between the floors between Pete and his car is 29
