B=29.4 !!!!!!!! this how i do it
Answer:
The volume of the new crate is exactly 174.4% of the old crate.
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a rectangular prism:
The volume of a rectangular prism of dimensions x, y and z is given by:
![V = xyz](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%20%3D%20xyz)
She decided that the dimensions of the new crate needs to be increased by 40% of the original length.
Each dimension is increased by 40%, which means that each is multiplied by 1 + 0.4 = 1.4. So
![V = 1.4x(1.4y)(1.4z) = (1.4)^3(xyz) = 2.744(xyz)](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=V%20%3D%201.4x%281.4y%29%281.4z%29%20%3D%20%281.4%29%5E3%28xyz%29%20%3D%202.744%28xyz%29)
Percentage:
The new volume is 2.744 the original volume. Considering the original volume is 100% = 1, it increased by 2.744 - 1 = 1.744 = 1.744*100% = 174.4%.
The volume of the new crate is exactly 174.4% of the old crate.
6785 - 6496 = 289 units
289 x 13p = 3757p
3757p = £37.57
37.57 + 21.45 = £59.02
