Six friends jointly ran a food stall at a Diwali mela in Indore and ended with a loss of ₹1080, shared equally. Writing a loss as a negative integer, what is each friend's share?

Split the total loss equally: (−1080) ÷ 6 = −180, so each friend carries ₹180 of the loss. Answering ₹180 drops the minus sign and records a gain instead; −₹1074 subtracts the 6 rather than dividing by it; −₹6480 multiplies by 6, which would be the loss if each friend lost the full amount separately.
