even though my answer was correct, I would like to confirm that with substituting values, the answer would be the same for any number in this question

Yes. Must be so.

Think the rectangle L 110* W 8 and the increase by 10 % >>> L 110 * W 7.2 and the area is 792

Increase by 20% L 120 * W 6.4 and the area is 768.

A is the answer.
