A well 100 meters deep is drilled at the base of a mountain 1000 meters high whose peak is 2,000 meters above sea level. How many meters above sea level is the botttom of the well?

(A) 900
(B) 1000
(C) 1100
(D) 1900
(E) 2100


If the mountain is 1000 meters high and its peak is 2000 meters above sea level, its base is 2000 - 1000 = 1000 meters above sea level.
