Would 50% of a negative number be greater in value or less in value than the number itself? give an example as part of your explanation.
im a bit confused, how could 50% of a negative number be greater or less in value?

Greater value because -30 divided in half is -15

It would be greater than the original value think of (-) #s like debts that need to be payed off and if you get a friend to pay the debt with you then you each have to pay less than you would alone however b/cus the #s are negative the closer they are to zero the larger the number is
