If the rainfall for the months of June, July, August, September, October and November was:

Mo Rainfall

Jun 5.35

July 3.18

Aug 3.83

Sep 4.33

Oct 4.5

Nov 4.19

and you wanted to find the percentage of the total (June through Nov) that October provided, you would take the rainfall in October divided by the total June through Nov.

Adding up June through Nov, we get 25.38. Then 4.5/25.38 = 0.177

To turn this into percent, either multiply by 100 or move the decimal two places to the right. The answer is 17.7%
