$${x}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{1}{x}_{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$${z}_{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}{z}_{\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$\frac{{y}_{\mathrm{2}} }{{y}_{\mathrm{1}} }=\left(\frac{{x}_{\mathrm{2}} }{{x}_{\mathrm{1}} }\right)^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\frac{{z}_{\mathrm{1}} }{{z}_{\mathrm{2}} }\right)=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{1}^{\mathrm{2}} ×\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{8}}=\mathrm{1}.\mathrm{5125} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{y}\:{is}\:{increased}\:{by}\:\mathrm{51}.\mathrm{25\%}. \\ $$
