Question 6

Points 1
Anne 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

Actual volume = 40 cm^3.

Explanation:

15% = 0.15 as a decimal fraction.

Let the actual volume be x cm^3, then we have the equation:

x + 0.15x = 46

1.15x = 46

x = 46 / 1.15

= 40 cm^3.
