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

aleksandrvk [35]
This is a working backwards problem.  You know he has $35 at the end.  Before he gave his brother $5, he would have $40, which is half of what he had before he bought the clothes, so he would have had $80.  Before he spent the $40 on shoes, he would have had $120, so the answer is $120.

Find the inverse of the function.<br> f(x) = -3x + 7
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
F(x) = -3x + 7
y = -3x + 7
x = -3y + 7
-3y + 7 = x
-3y = x - 7
y = -1/3x + 7/3
f^-1(x) = -1/3x + 7/3
