Verifying Cost Scaling Consistency in Purchasing Contracts

Based on the procurement training scenario, recall the general rule regarding how multiplying or dividing both sides of an inequality by a positive number affects the direction of the inequality sign. Then, write out the complete numerical demonstrations showing how the baseline inequality 10<15{}10 < 15 is affected when both sides are (1) multiplied by 5 and (2) divided by 5. Show the simplified results for both calculations to verify that the scaled comparisons remain mathematically true.
