Answer 1

Answer:

59% chance

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics from the past ten years predict that the chance of rain on any single day in April in Asha’s hometown is 41%. If Asha’s birthday is April 10, what is the chance of it not raining on Asha’s birthday?

Asha's birthday in in April. The chance of rain on any single day in April is 41%. So, there is a 41% chance of rain.

But, that's not what the problem is asking for. The problem is asking for the chance of not raining. To solve for this, we use simple algebra.

100%(all of the time) - 41%(how much it happens) = 59%

The 59% is the chance of it not raining on Asha's birthday.

Hope this helps! Happy birthday, Asha!
