470.4 mm

Explanation:

Given: the annual rainfall in 2017 in opuwo was 420 mm, the annual rainfall in 2018 was 12% more than in 2017.

First, find 12% of 420 mm:

12% of 420 mm

`(12)/(100)` x 420 mm

1.2 x 420 mm

= 50.4 mm

Then add 50.4 mm to the previous annual rainfall of 420 mm:

50.4 mm + 420 mm

= 470.4 mm

Therefore, the annual rainfall in opuwo in 2018 is 470.4 mm.
