Solution

The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. If the width is increased by 25%, the new width becomes 1.25 times the original width.

Since the length remains constant, the new area becomes 1.25 times the original area.

Therefore, the resulting area is 125% of the original area.
