1. Brighto soap powder is packed in cubeshaped cartons. A carton measures 10 cm on each side. The company has decided to increase the length of each edge of the carton by 10%. How much has the volume increased? (cc = cubic centimeters)

  • A. 10 cc
  • B. 10 cc
  • C. 10 cc
  • D. 10 cc

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Initial volume = 103 cc = 1000 cc

New side length = 10 + 10% of 10 = 10 + 1 = 11

New volume = 113 cc = 1331 cc

Increase in volume  = 1331 - 1000 = 331 cc
