Question

A botanist predicts that the height of a certain tree will increase by 2% every year. If the height of the tree is now 50 feet, what is the predicted height 2 years from now?
A.50.04 feet
B.51 feet
C.52 feet
D.52.02

Answer 1

To answer this kinda question, we gotta tackle it year by year. 
By the end of the first year, the tree would grow by 2% = 102% of its original height.
Year 1: 102% x 50 = 51 feet
Year 2: 103% x 51 = 52.02 feet

Hope I helped!! xx
