Question

Leila says that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of any other number.

Complete one inequality to support Leila's claim and one to show that she is incorrect.

Answer 1

supporting claim :

75% of 100 = 0.75*100 = 75 50% of 100 = 0.50 * 100 50 = 0.75(100) > 0.50(100) <== ur inequality

counter claim:

75% of -100 = 0.75* -100 = -75

50% of -100 = 0.50 -100 = -50 0.75(-100) < 0.50(-100) <== ur inequality.
