Question

A food company distributes its tomato soup in two cans of different sizes. For the larger can, both the diameter and the height have been increased by 10%.

By what percentage does the volume of the can increase from the smaller can to the larger can? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer 1

Explanation:

If the diameter increases by 10%,

new diameter = d+⅒ = 1.1d

also new radius = 0.55r

Height also increasesby 10%,

New height = h+⅒h = 1.1h

hence diameter of larger can =

π*(0.55)²*1.1= 1.0453

hence percentage change in volume

is 4.53% which can be rounded off to
