anyone good with astronomy that can help me out with this question?

Now take the tilt into account. How many degrees does the Sun appear off the southern horizon (at noon) at the following locations on June 21st ?

Oslo, Norway (70 degrees N)

Ft. Collins (40 degrees N)

Quito, Ecuador (0 degrees)

Buenos Aires, Argentina (38 degrees S)
 
the very best way to solve this problem is to draw a diagram. this will show you the relationships and you can read off the answers easily.
 
For the northern latitudes:
90 - (latitude) + 23.5

For the southern latitude:
90 - (latitude) - 23.5

For the equator
90 - 23.5
