    -500 < 200

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In inequality,

    less than = <

    greater than = >

    Less than equal to = ≤

    Greater than equal to = ≥,

    Here, the given sentence is,

    loss of $500 is worse than a gain of $200

    Generally loss represents by an amount with negative sign,

    That is, loss of $ 500 = - $ 500

    Also, worse than is equivalent to less than

    Thus, the required inequality would be,

    -500 less than 200

    ⇒ - 500 < 200
