Cientists in a test lab are testing the hardness of a surface before constructing a building. Calculations indicate that the entire structure would sink by a certain amount for every additional floor that is added. If the maximum permissible limit for depression of the structure is 20 centimeters, how many floors can be safely added to the building?

    From the given problem, a limit on the depression of a building is placed at 20 centimeters. To solve how many floors can be safely added, a quantity of how many cm will a building sink for each floor that is added is needed. Unfortunately, it is not found anywhere in the problem. However, we can provide a formula to solve for the depression. This is as follows:

    Building depression < 20 cm

    Building depression = (cm depression per floor) * (no. of floors)
