Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the employees using a laptop computer to those not using one was 1:3 in the year 2005. In 2006, the number of employees using a laptop as well as those not using it doubled. This means that both proportions would be doubled. Therefore, the ratio of the employees using a laptop to those not using one in 2006 would be

2:6

Check the picture below.  Recall, is an open-top box, so, the top is not part of the surface area, of the 300 cm².  Also, recall, the base is a square, thus, length = width = x.

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\&#10;V=lwh\quad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;l = length\\&#10;w=width\\&#10;h=height\\&#10;-----\\&#10;w=l=x&#10;\end{cases}\implies V=xxh\implies \boxed{V=x^2h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;\textit{surface area}\\\\&#10;S=4xh+x^2\implies 300=4xh+x^2\implies \cfrac{300-x^2}{4x}=h&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\boxed{\cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4}=h}\\\\&#10;-------------------------------\\\\&#10;V=x^2\left( \cfrac{75}{x}-\cfrac{x}{4} \right)\implies V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3

so.. that'd be the V(x) for such box, now, where is the maximum point at?

\bf V(x)=75x-\cfrac{1}{4}x^3\implies \cfrac{dV}{dx}=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2\implies 0=75-\cfrac{3}{4}x^2&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\cfrac{3}{4}x^2=75\implies 3x^2=300\implies x^2=\cfrac{300}{3}\implies x^2=100&#10;\\\\\\&#10;x=\pm10\impliedby \textit{is a length unit, so we can dismiss -10}\qquad \boxed{x=10}

now, let's check if it's a maximum point at 10, by doing a first-derivative test on it.  Check the second picture below.

so, the volume will then be at   \bf V(10)=75(10)-\cfrac{1}{4}(10)^3\implies V(10)=500 \ cm^3
