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?
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
