    65%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Probability that it rains is 12/90

    So, probability that it will NOT RAIN is 90 - 12 = 78 out of 90

    Independent probability gets multiplied, so probability that it will not rain in 3 consecutive days would be:

    P (Not Rain) * P (Not Rain) * P (Not Rain)

    First, probability of not raining is 78/90, so:

    P (Not Rain) * P (Not Rain) * P (Not Rain)

    = 78/90 * 78/90 * 78/90 = 474552/729000

    When divided, this will be 0.6509

    To convert it to percentage, we multiply by 100:

    0.6509 * 100 = 65.09

    Rounded to nearest percentage, that will be 65%
