If a number is positive, Leila's theory that 75% of a number will always be greater than 50% of another number is <em>true</em>;<em> </em>however, if both numbers are negative, or if the number of which she finds 50% is much greater than the number of which she finds 75%, Leila's theory could be incorrect.

This inequality shows that Leila is correct: 100(0.75) \geq 50(0.50) (which simplifies to 75 \geq 25)

This inequality shows that Leila is incorrect: 50(0.75) \geq 100(0.50) (which simplifies to 37.5 \geq 50)

Hope this helps!
