Ohm's law states that the electric current flowing in a circuit varies directly as the applied voltage and inversely as the resistance. By what percent will the current change when the voltage is increased by 25% and the resistance increased by 15%?

I=V/R.

Change in I =1.25/0.85

=1.47.

Current increases by 47%.
