Answer 2

4%

Explanation:

Percentage increase can be found using this formula:

`Percentage \ Increase = (New-Old)/(Old)*100`

Where new age is 26

old age is 25

Let's solve:

`Percentage \ Increase = (New-Old)/(Old)*100\\Percentage \ Increase = (26-25)/(25)*100\\Percentage \ Increase = (1)/(25)*100\\=4`

Hence, there is a 4% increase
