To represent the change in points, you can think of it in two ways:

1. You will go down 25 points for every wrong answer, so -25 + -25 + -25 would represent what is happening. They are all negative, so you keeping moving down in value.

2. You can also think of this as 3 groups of -25.

Both answers are -75. The answer is negative because the change was down in points.

-75 is the integer that represents this situation.
