Answer:
20%
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we have to find the total added area in square feet.
15,000 - 12,500 = 2,500 square feet.
We are finding the ratio of the added area to the initial area. By doing this, we can determine the rate of the added area.
2,500/12,500 = 0.2
In order to find the percentage, we are multiplying the resultant value by 100.
0.2*100 = 20%
Therefore, 20% is the percentage increase of the area from its initial area.
