Step-by-step explanation:

100% = 33,000 ft

1% = 100%/100 = 33000/100 = 330 ft

6% = 1% × 6 = 330 × 6 = 1980 ft

that means the plane has to go down 1980 ft to

33,000 - 1980 = 31,020 ft

and then it goes up by 5000 ft :

31,020 + 5000 = 36,020 ft

that is the final altitude.

Answer:

The final altitude of the airplane is 36,020
