Multiply last years rainfall by the percent of increase.

26 inches x 0.15 = 3.9 inches more.

Round the answer as needed.

First, we need to find 15% of last years total rainfall to estimate next years. To do this, multiply last years rain by the decimal form of 15%.

26*.15=3.9

There will be 3.9 more inches of rain predicted to fall next year.

Hope this helps!
