I say 20 meters. Now is up to you to figure out ball's mass, initial ball's speed, inithial ball's height, air drag, impact energy losses etc.... Try adding your python code: it may be clearer than your question.

float bouncingBall(float height, int bounce, float decrease){ distance=height; for (int i=0; i<bounce;i++){ height*=decrease; distance=distance+height*2; } return distance; } Take care that this is just a function: you'll have to call it with its defined arguments inside your program. Hope it helps
