Re: Approximately what percent of the days with maximum temperat [#permalink]

Question is a bit confusing. I thought we were asked to find just in the month of July. i.e, 15 hot days / (total days in july).
Can I know which part there in the question is conveying that I should use total hot days in the year?

Hi There!

As we are not given any data about the other days of July, so DO NOT ASSUME anything that we are not given. In the above chart, we are only given data when the temperature was 90 or more than 90 use only that much.

The total hot days=44
Thus, the percent of hot days in july=15/44=34%

It is very important, that we can infer the assumption from the question. Here, we cannot assume about other days in July.

Ask if further assistance is needed.

Hope this helps
