Lorin is right.

It depends on your interpretation. You could also have computed:

Increase in sales: \(10%\times 1.2\times 0.25\)
Increase in gross profits: \((0.4-0.25)\times 1.32\)

The sum must be the same as in the solutions. In both cases, we are computing the economic gain and not the level of gross profits.
