Answer:
The first increase was of 60%.
Step-by-step explanation:
The initial value of the product is x.
The first increase was of y.
The second increase is of 25%, that is, 1.25.
The final price was double the original, so 2x.
This situation can be modeled by the following equation:
We want to find y.
Simplifying by x
After the first increase, the value was 1.6 of the original value, that is a increase as a percent of (1.6 - 1)*100 = 60%.
This 3D solid is a strange sideways bowl shape. Each cross section is a ring to show the empty space.

Explanation:
Check out the diagram below. The graph was created with GeoGebra. We have y = x^2 in red and x = y^2 in blue.
The gray region is the region between the two curves. We spin this gray region around the horizontal green line y = 1 to generate the answer mentioned above.
Note how (1,1) is a fixed point that does not move as this is on the line y = 1. Every other point moves to sweep through 3D space to create the solid figure. One way you can think of it is to think of propeller blades. Or you can think of a revolving door (the door is "flat" so to speak, but it sweeps out a 3D solid cylinder).
