The original room was 40 feet long and 12 feet wide. After construction, the dimensions of the room were double their original size. What was the percent of increase of the area of the rooms?

 

THANK YOU

80 x 24 /(40 x 12)  = 4  times bigger !  = 400% bigger

40×12 ( lenght × width) =480×2 (double the size)=960

not sure on percentage. Maybe 20 percent since its×2?
