The negative integer would show for subtraction of money but when the person earns money the money will show in positive integer

The integer -3 will represent the total points for the contestant.

What are the different interpretation of negative numbers?

  • A negative number is a number that is less than zero.
  • Numbers that are to the left of zero on the number line.
  • A number that is the opposite of a positive number.
  • A negative number represents loss or absence of something.

According to the given question.

Let +1 point will be awarded to the contestant for giving the correct answer. And -1 point for giving the incorrect answer.

Number of questions for which the contestant given the answer

incorrectly = 3
