The approximate increase in Area of the parking lot is about 133%

Area of a rectangle = Length × width

Initial Area of parking lot :

  • 75 feets × 150 feets = 11250 ft²

New Area of parking lot :

Width = 75 + 100 = 175 feets

Length = 150 feets

Area = 175 × 150 = 26250 ft²

Percentage increase in Area of lot :

((16250 - 11250) / initial Area) × 100%

(15000 / 11250) × 100% = 133.33%

Therefore, the approximate increase on area of lot is 133%
