To find the probability of both events happening, you need to multiply the individual probabilities. In this case, the probability of rain on Saturday is 10% (0.10) and the probability of rain on Sunday is 30% (0.30).
So, the probability of rain on both Saturday and Sunday is calculated as:
0.10 * 0.30 = 0.03
Therefore, the answer is 3%, which corresponds to option A.
