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

Mathematics

rewona [7]3 years ago

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

Answer:

x=10

y=-2

(10,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

If X=10, we can put 10 in for x in the equation.

30 + 5y = 20

Next, we need to solve to find y.

We will get y on its own so we subtract 30 from 20 to get

5y=-10

We then know that 5 goes into -10 -2 times.

y=-2

A car has an initial value of $20,000. The value then "depreciates" or decreases by 10% of its initial value each year. Which eq
Elden [556K]

Answer:

D) v = -2,000y + 20,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question gives a linear relationship between two quantities.  This means that the relationship between the initial value of the car and the amount it depreciates each year is proportional, or constant.  Since the value of the car decreases by 10% of its initial value each year, then each year the value will decrease by 10% of 20,000 or 0.10 x 20000 = $2,000.  Since we know the value is decreasing each year, this amount would be subtracted from the initial value of $20,000.  So, D) v = -2,000y + 20,000 would be the only equation that represents this scenario.

Lauren keeps records of the distances she travels in a taxi and what she
Scrat [10]

Answer:

m = 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

In a standard equation of y = mx + b, m is the slope. In this situation, the slope is the price paid per mile.

To find the slope of the line, we use the slope formula: (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁). I will use the points (3, 8.25) & (11, 26.25)

Plug in these values:

(26.25 - 8.25) / (11 - 3)

Simplify the parentheses.

= (18) / (8)

Simplify the fraction.

18/8

= 9/4

This is your slope.

In a dollar value, it is 9/4 of a dollar, or $2.25 per mile.
