Question

Measured the volume of an object and recorded it as 46 cubic cm

which was 15% high from the actual volume. Find the actual volume.

Answer 1

`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`.
