Answer:

The percentage change each year is 2%

Explanation:

Generally, we can have an exponential equation written as;

f(t) = I( 1 + r)^t

where f(t) is the value at a certain time

I is the initial value at t = 0

r is the growth rate

t is the time we are looking at

Thus, we have it that;

1.02 = 1 + r

r = 1.02 -1

r = 0.02

So, let us write 0.02 as a percentage

We have this as 2/100 which is the same as 2%

The percentage change each year is 2%
