How to Compare Business Losses Using Absolute Value and Order

In this video, we compare the financial losses of two businesses—one lost -500 dollars, and the other lost -300 dollars—using absolute value. By calculating the absolute values, we find that | -500 | = 500 and | -300 | = 300, showing that the first business had a greater loss. While -500 is less than -300, the absolute value demonstrates that a loss of 500 dollars is larger than a loss of 300 dollars. This lesson aligns with Common Core Standard 6.NS.C.7d, focusing on the difference between comparing absolute value and numerical order in real-world financial contexts.
