It rained 18 days during the month of April what percentage of day did it not rain during the month of April

kotykmax [81]

There are 30 days in April.

If 18 days had rain, it means 12 didn't.

18/30=x/100

Make sure both fractions can be made into fractions with a denominator of 100:

180/300=x/100

Divide 180/300 by 3:

60/100=x/100

This shows that the 18 days that did rain take up 60% of the whole month.

So then the remaining 12 days that didn't have rain must take up 40% of the month.

Solution:
40% of the days did not have rain during the month of April

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

Brand A = 21 heart-rate watches.

Brand B = 13 heart-rate watches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the number of Brand A heart watches and B be the number of Brand B heart watches.

We have been given that a nonprofit community health organization purchased 34 heart-rate watches for use at a wellness center.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$A+B=34...(1)$

We have been given that in a certain year, brand A of heart-rate watch cost $39.99 and brand B cost $59.99 and the organization spent $1619.66 for the watches.

We can represent this information in an equation as:

$39.99*A+59.99*B=1619.66...(2)$
