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
