    Step-by-step explanation:

    (the orginal square has an area of 25)

    (each side equals 11)

    11 x 11 = 121

    Area increased with 384%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Initial square side: 5in

    Initial area: 5*5=25in²

    New side: 5*2.2=11in

    New area: 11*11=121in²

    Percentage area increase

    (121-25) / 25*100=96/25*100=384%

    So the area increased with 384%
