Let’s go through each problem one by one. We’re using
+ for positive things (like profit, above sea level, right, rise, deposit) and
– for negative things (like loss, below sea level, left, fall, withdraw).
---
1)
Profit of 500 → Profit is good, so it’s
positive →
+500
2)
1500 m below the sea level → Below sea level is negative →
–1500
3)
25 km south → South is treated as negative (since north would be positive) →
–25
4)
Loss of 100 → Loss is bad, so negative →
–100
5)
A deposit of $200 → Deposit means adding money, so positive →
+200
6)
12 km right → Right is positive →
+12
7)
A rise of 20 points → Rise means going up, so positive →
+20
8)
A withdraw of $1000 → Withdraw means taking money out, so negative →
–1000
9)
A fall of 10 points → Fall means going down, so negative →
–10
10)
4500 m above the sea level → Above sea level is positive →
+4500

Final Answer:
1) +500

4) –100
5) +200
6) +12
