Answer:

$40\ cm^3$

Explanation:

Let the actual volume is V.

The measured volume of an object is 46 cubic cm which was 15% high from the actual volume.

According to the given condition,

$V+(15V)/(100)=46\\\\(115V)/(100)=46\\\\V=(4600)/(115)\\\\V=40\ cm^3$

So, the actual volume was
$40\ cm^3$ .
