Question

The cost of rent for an apartment goes down by $50 per month. What integer represents this situation?

+ 50

- 50

(Heeellllppp pleaseee)

Answer 1

-50 is the integer representation

Explanation:

Here, we want to have an integer representation

By going down, what it simply means is that there is a loss in the original value by an amount of $50

When there is a loss, we are simply taking away the value from what we had initially

Taking away is same as subtracting

Thus, what we have in this case is -50
