Sim wants to increase his waist size to 32.4 inches.

<h3>How many inches does Sim want his waist to be?</h3>

Sim wants the increase to be 8% of 30 inches.

The amount of increase Sim wants in his waist size exists

8% × 30 inches.

= 0.08 × 30 inches.

= 2.4 inches.

Adding the wanted increase to his present size would create Sim's waist size to be

30 in + 2.4 in = 32.4 inches.

Sim wants to increase his waist size to 32.4 inches.

Therefore, the correct answer is 32.4 inches.
