Answer

The height of the child in a year time = 124.8 cm

Step-by-step explanation

The child is currently 120 cm tall.

The child grows 4% bigger in 1 year.

We now need to calculate how tall the child is in that 1 year.

New height for the child = (Current height) + (Increase in height)

Current height = 120 cm

Increase in height = 4% of 120 cm = 0.04 × 120 = 4.8 cm

New height for the child = (Current height) + (Increase in height)

= 120 + 4.8

= 124.8 cm

Hope this Helps!!!
