Answer:
(a)25% of 100 < 75% of 100
(b)25% of -100 > 75% of -100
Step-by-step explanation:
If Lillian says that 25% of a number will always be less than 75% of any other number.
We are required to complete two inequality one of which supports and the other refutes the statement.
Support
Let our number be 100
25% of 100 < 75% of 100
25<100
This is true.
Refute
Let our number be -100
25% of -100 > 75% of -100
-25>-100
Therefore, for negative numbers, the inequality will not be true as:
-25>-100.
