100

Absolute value simply means the distance from zero. So the question is asking: how far away is #-100# from zero?

Since #-100# is #100# units away from zero, #100# is our answer.

100

Any figure within a absolute value is that item with a positive sign:

For example:

if #a> 0# then #|a| = a#

if #a<# then #|a|=-(-a) = a#

If your case #a<0# so:

#|-100| = -(-100) = 100#
