Solution

Identity gain or loss

Given,

In the first game, Ahmed won =79

In the second game, Ahmed won =60

In the third game, Ahmed won=58

In the fourth game, Ahmed won =113

Adding these numbers together we get the final loss or gain

Consider loss as negative integer, then

Total amount=79+(-60)+58+(-113)=137+(-173)=-36
