If he were to return home on Monday, that means we had the following occur:

Saturday: No rain
Sunday: No rain
Monday Rain

So, we just need to multiply together the probabiltity of all those individual things:

80% chance of no rain on Saturday * 80% chance of no rain on Sunday * 20% chance of rain on Monday

.8*.8*.2 = .128, so the answer is B.

answer B ..

(probablity of no rain on sat)X(probablity of no rain on sun) X (probablity of rain on monday)

0.8*0.8*0.2= 0.128
