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
