### Instruction: The probability it will rain on Saturday is $60\%$, and the probability it will rain on Sunday is $25\%$. If the probability of rain on a given day is independent of the weather on any other day, what is the probability it will rain on both days, expressed as a percent?### Response: To find the probability of two independent events happening, I can multiply the probabilities of each event.
So, the probability it will rain on both Saturday and Sunday is $60\% \times 25\% = 0.6 \times 0.25 = 0.15$.
To express this as a percent, I can multiply by 100 and add a percent sign.
So, the probability it will rain on both days is $0.15 \times 100 = 15\%$.
