Answer:

In Buffalo, New York, the temperature was -14°F in the morning. If the temperature dropped 7°F, what is the temperature now?

Explanation:

You just need to get a situation where there would be negative increase. My example was temperature, but other easy examples could be money (debt, etc) or sea level.
