The amazon basin received 23 inches of rain so far this year. This amount is 25% of the average yearly rainfall. What is the average yearly rainfall?​

Answer 1

The amount of average yearly rainfall is 92 inches

Explanation:

Given as:

The amount of rain received by Amazon basin this year = 23 inches

Let the average yearly rainfall = x inches

And, Amount of rain this year is 25% of average yearly rainfall

I.e 25% of x = 23 inches

Or, 0.25 of x = 23 inches

Or, x =
`(23)/(0.25)` inches

So, x = 92 inches

Hence The amount of average yearly rainfall is 92 inches Answer
