Answer: The fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = [tex]\dfrac{33}{100}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: fraction of gifts for weddings = [tex]\dfrac{3}{10}[/tex]

fraction of gifts for baby showers = [tex]\dfrac{37}{100}[/tex]

Rest of the gifts = [tex]1-\dfrac3{10}-\dfrac{37}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\dfrac{100-30-37}{100}\ \ \ [\text{Making like fractions}]\\\\=\dfrac{100-67}{100}\\\\=\dfrac{33}{100}[/tex]

Hence, the fraction of the gifts were for birthdays = [tex]\dfrac{33}{100}[/tex].
