An escalator moves downward from street level to a subway platform at a constant rate. When the
escalator is turned off, Wesley takes 70 steps to descend from street level to the platform. When the
escalator is turned on, Wesley needs only 36 steps to descend from street level to the platform. If
Wesley begins at the platform and walks upward, against the escalator’s downward movement, how
many steps will he need to take to reach street level? (Assume that Wesley walks at a constant rate
in all scenarios.)
(A) Between 50 and 100 steps
(B) Between 100 and 200 steps
(C) Between 200 and 500 steps
(D) Between 500 and 1000 steps
