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

[tex]0.10x < 0.20y[/tex] ----> inequality that represent the situation

Verify

For [tex]x=100, y=200[/tex]

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

[tex]0.10(100) < 0.20(200)[/tex]

[tex]10 < 40[/tex] -----> is true

For [tex]x=600, y=100[/tex]

substitute in the inequality the values of x and y

[tex]0.10(600) < 0.20(100)[/tex]

[tex]60 < 20[/tex] -----> is not true

Therefore

The inequality is true sometimes
