Negative numbers are not irrational. They tell us things like loss in business. Is that not real. a loss of $200 is the equivalent of -$200 profit. That is real and rational, therefore so are negative numbers.

yes your example of -2 apples is correct, but negative numbers can work in logical cases like the above money one.
