Question 10

Why is it NOT increase productivity 10% -----> Bankrupt and not "increase productivity 10% -----> NOT bankrupt"? When we have "No or Not", don't we negate the necessary conditional? In those question isn't it as If had a "NOT" before the increase productivity 10% (even if its not write the NOT)? Thank you. :).

Hi @Ashe,

Thanks for your question!

This is because increasing productivity by 10% is necessary for the company to not go bankrupt.

Therefore, if the company does not go bankrupt, then they must have increased productivity by 10%. Conversely, if the company does not increase productivity by 10%, then they will go bankrupt.

Not bankrupt --> Increase productivity by 10%

Not increase productivity by 10% --> Bankrupt

Hope this helps! Please let us know if you have any further questions.
