Answer:

  100%

Step-by-step explanation:

When the dimensions double, the perimeter doubles.

The percent change can be found from ...

  percent change = ((new value)/(old value) -1) × 100%

Filling in your values, you have ...

  percent change = ((2×(old perimeter))/(old perimeter) -1) × 100%

  = (2 - 1) × 100%

  = 100%

The perimeter increases by 100% from the first garden to the second.
