Ina a class of 30 children,60% can swim. how many children cannot swim?

1 answer:

6 0

60% of the total (30) can swim
60% of 30 = (60/100)*30 = 0.60*30 = 18
So 18 children can swim

This means 30-18 = 12 cannot swim

---------------------------------------------------------

An alternative is to do it this way:

We know 60% can swim so that means 40% cannot swim.
Notice how 100% - 60% = 40%
Or in other words, the 60% and 40% add to 100%. This is because we have two choices: either the person can swim or cannot swim

Since 40% cannot swim, this means
40% of 30 = (40/100)*30 = 0.40*30 = 12
and we get the same result as before

---------------------------------------------------------

Final Answer: 12

Solve the equation in the complex number system.

To get rid of $x^{3}$ , you have to take the third root of both sides:
$\sqrt[3]{x^{3}} = \sqrt[3]{1}$
But that won't help you with understanding the problem. It is better to write $x^{3}-1$ as a product of 2 polynomials:
$x^{3}-1 = (x-1)\cdot (x^{2} +x +1)$
From this we know, that $x-1 = 0 => x = 1$ is the solution. Another solutions (complex roots) are the roots of quadratic equation.

Sergei says that 10% of a number will always be less than 20% of any other number.

That's false.
Let's see an instance:
10% of 300=30
20% of 100=20
It doesn't work here so it's false
