Q:

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

Accepted Solution

A:
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
