Assume original length = 100m by 50m   original area = 100*50= 
<gadget id="calculator">100*50</gadget>
<output>5_000</output>
5000   25% increase on each side   l= 100 + 25= 
<gadget id="calculator">100 + 25</gadget>
<output>125</output>
125   w= 50 + 12.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">50 + 12.5</gadget>
<output>62.5</output>
62.5   new area= 125*62.5= 
<gadget id="calculator">125*62.5</gadget>
<output>7_812.5</output>
7812.5   increase in area= 7812.5 - 5000= 
<gadget id="calculator">7812.5 - 5000</gadget>
<output>2_812.5</output>
2812.5   %increase=56.25%   Answer 56.25%
<result>C</result>
