If the regular box has dimensions l, w, and h, then the dimensions of the family value box would be 1.25l, 1.25w, and 1.25h. This means that the volume of the family value box would be 1.25 * 1.25 * 1.25 = 1.953125 times the volume of the regular box. Since the family value box is 25% larger in each dimension, its volume is nearly double the volume of the regular box.
