While James was in Peru, he heard the weather forecaster say it was going to be 30°C

. He wasn't sure if that was hot or cold, so he converted the temperature to degrees Fahrenheit. What is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit?

Use F=95C+32
, where F represents degrees in Fahrenheit and C represents degrees in Celsius.

To convert 30°C to Fahrenheit using the formula \( F = \frac{9}{5}C + 32 \), we start by substituting \( C \) with 30.

\[ F = \frac{9}{5}(30) + 32 \]

Calculating \( \frac{9}{5}(30) \):

\[ \frac{9}{5} \times 30 = \frac{270}{5} = 54 \]

Now, add 32:

\[ F = 54 + 32 = 86 \]

So, the temperature in Fahrenheit is:

\[ \boxed{86} \]
