You gain 60 points in a board game negative or positive integer

Hello!

When you gain 60 points, this is a positive integer.

The reasoning is because of the key word gain. When you gain points, you are adding a number, which could only mean that the integer is positive.

If this were to be represented by a negative integer, the problem would be saying something along the lines of "You lose 60 points," which can be represented by the negative integer -60.
