If the volume for 3-D polyhedra A is 400 cm3 and the volume for 3-D polyhedral B is 800 cm3. How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A? 200% 20% 2% 0.2%

We're literally just comparing 400 to 800 here.
800 is 2× bigger than 400, of course.
To put that in a percent...
Well, 1 = 100%. (it's a whole)
So 2 = 200%

For this case we can make the following rule of three:
400 cm ^ 3 ---------------> 100%
800 cm ^ 3 --------------> x
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:

x = (800/400) * (100) x = 200 Answer:
the volume of pyramid B is 200% bigger than pyramid A
