What is your concern? The negative sign?

yes

anonymous · Answer

i want to write a negative next to the money sign to let people know it was subtracting from an amount

zepdrix · Answer

It depends on the problem.
I would say it's probably fine, as long as you understand what that number represents.

You can't have a NEGATIVE amount of money.
So it represents DEBT, or money owed.


I'm confused, is -$19 your final answer? Or you were subtracting 19 from a different number. Like to show that you were taking 19 dollars away from a total.

You have some amount of money, and you're taking away 19 dollars.
