1525/16% = 0.953125
Volume of sphere = (4/3)*pi*r^3

Thus a sphere whose volume increases from V to 1.953125*V has a radius which increases by a factor (1.953125)^(1/3) = 1.25

Surface area of a sphere = 4*pi*r^2

A sphere whose radius increases by a factor of 1.25 has an area increase of 1.25^2 = 1.5625

That's an increase of 56.25%.
