1) Since an increase of 25% represents an increase of 1/4 of the whole.

2) And we have 4/5, increasing 1/4 we'll write:


\begin{gathered} (4)/(5)+(1)/(4)*(4)/(5)= \\ (4)/(5)+(1)/(5)=(5)/(5)=1 \end{gathered}

3) So representing in the diagram an increase of 25% would be:

x =4/5

x(1.25) =y

4/5(1.25) =1
