Initially 30% are swordtails, ie 36 are swordtails.
When some guppies died, the 36 swordtails remain alive. Hence 36 swordtails makes up 40% of the fish now.
Hence, there are 90 fish remaining.
So 30 guppies died

Yep. no. of swordtails remain the same so use that to solve the problem.

120/100*30=36
36/40=0.9
0.9*60=54

can you please explain the short cut method Raymond Ng

Raymond Ng
Sorry. Was having lessons. JCs midyr coming soon.
OK, that was the shortcut trick. If you prefer to visualise or think step by step, then just follow the other nice solutions provided by the helpers in this forum.
Or, you may simply apply the Work Done Eqn:
1/T = 1/A + 1/B
So T = 1/ ( 1/A + 1/B)
= AB/(A+B)
Hope this clarifies
