Answer: 14500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the mobile phone before the GST was added be represented by x.

Therefore,

x + (12% × x) = 16240

x + 0.12x = 16240

1.12x = 16240

x = 16240/1.12

x = 14500

The price of the mobile phone before the GST was added was 14500

A sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. A sphere with height h a

Elodia [21]

We have been given that a sphere and a cylinder have the same radius and height. The volume of the cylinder is 21 meters cubed. We are asked to find the volume of the sphere.

We know that height of sphere is equal to its radius. This means that $r=h$ .

$\text{Volume of sphere}=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^2 h$

Using $r=h$ , we will get:

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^2\cdot r$

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^3$

Upon comparing volume of sphere and volume of cylinder, we can see that volume of sphere is $\frac{4}{3}$ times volume of cylinder.

$\pi r^3=21$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=\frac{4}{3}\cdot 21$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=4\cdot 7$

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3=28$

Therefore, the volume of the sphere would be 28 cubic meters.
