Answer:

it is not always true that 75% of a number will be greater than 50% of any other number

Explanation:

Leila's statement is not true. It is possible for 50% of a number to be greater than 75% of another number.

For example, consider the numbers 10 and 100. 50% of 10 is 5, and 75% of 100 is 75. In this case, 50% of 10 (5) is greater than 75% of 100 (75).

Here's another example: 50% of 20 is 10, and 75% of 30 is 22.5. In this case, 50% of 20 (10) is again greater than 75% of 30 (22.5).

Therefore, it is not always true that 75% of a number will be greater than 50% of any other number.
