Because the Dominik walks up the escalator is 100ft/min100 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min} and the speed at which the escalator is moving up is 105ft/min105 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min}. So, the speed of Dominik at the escalator as follows:

(100+105)ft/min(100+105) \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{min}

The length of the escalator is 205 feet.
