<gadget id="calculator">100*50</gadget>
<output>5_000</output>
5000   12% increase on each side   l= 100 + 12= 
<gadget id="calculator">100 + 12</gadget>
<output>112</output>
112   w= 50 + 6= 
<gadget id="calculator">50 + 6</gadget>
<output>56</output>
56   new area= 112*56= 
<gadget id="calculator">112*56</gadget>
<output>6_272</output>
6272   increase in area= 6272 - 5000=
