Theresa uses a unique box in the shape of a trapezoidal prism for her specialty candles. The area of the base of the box for the smaller candle is 125 cm2 and the box is 12 cm tall. The box used for the larger candle has a base whose area is 160% that of the smaller box, and it is 6 centimeters taller.
What percent of the volume of the smaller box is the volume of the larger box?
Answer:

Answer 1

41.7%

Explanation:

100%----125

10%------125/100 x 10

=12.5

160%-----12.5 x 16

=200

volume of small box = 200 x (12+6)

= 3600

volume of large box = 125 x 16

= 1500

percentage of volume of small box is the volume of large box

= 1500/3600 x 100%

=41.667% (5 s.f)

=41.7% (3s.f)
