That statement is only true sometimes.  If you use 500 and 10, 10% of 500 is 50, while 20% of 10 is only 2.  Clearly, 50 is larger than 2.

Answer:

The statement is true sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> a number

y-----> another number

we have that

\(0.10x < 0.20y\) ----> inequality that represent the situation

Verify

For \(x=100, y=200\)

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

\(0.10(100) < 0.20(200)\)

\(10 < 40\) -----> is true

For \(x=600, y=100\)

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

\(0.10(600) < 0.20(100)\)

\(60 < 20\) -----> is not true

Therefore

The inequality is true sometimes
