easier to think of the question in ratios.
initially, area A : area B is 40 : 100.
now, area A : area B is 1:3, since 300% means area B is 3 times of A.
since area A didn’t change, you can view the new ratio as 40:120 (multiply 1:3 by 40 on both sides).
in this sense, area B increased from 100 units to 120 units.
hence, % increase is (120-100) / 100 , multiplied by 100%, aka 20/100 x 100% which gives you 20% as the final answer:))
