If the side of a cube increases in size by 9%, then by what percentage does the surface area increase?
--------
Original surface area = 6s^2 where "s" is the length of a side.
----
New surface area = 6(1.09s)^2 = 7.1286s^2
----
Quantitative gain: 1.1286s^2
----
% gain: 1.1286s^2/6s^2 = 0.1881 = 18.81%
