Answer: 30 m

Step-by-step explanation: i think this is correct and i apologize if it’s not, but there’s two ways you could do this. 1: initial X increase/decrease in decimal form. in this case, 24 X 1.25 (125% in decimal form). 2: you could figure out what 25% of 24 meters is in the same way as method 1, and then multiply that answer by five to get 125%. i reallyyy hope this helped and if it’s wrong i’m really sorry, but good luck!
