In the Rocky Mountains the snow is 40 inches deep
Intial depth of the snow on mountain = 40 inches
After the second snow storm
The depth of the snow increased by 21%.
i.e. depth of the snow increased by 21%. of intial depth = depth of the snow increased by 21%. of 40
So,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 20\text{ perecntage of 40 =}\frac{20\times40}{100} \\ 20\text{ percentage of 40=8 inch} \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, depth of the snow increased by 21%. = 8 inches
So, the final depth of snow = Intial depth + Increased depth
The final depth of snow = 40 + 8
The final depth of snow = 48 inches
Answer: 48 inches
After the snow storm, the depth of snow is 48 inches
