<em>Answer</em>
68.4%
<em>Step-by-step explanation</em>
The volume of a cylinder is calculated as follows:
where <em>r </em>is the radius and <em>h </em>is the height of the cylinder.
In the case of cylinder A, its radius is r = 5 ft (= 10/2) and its height is h = 14 ft. Then, its volume is:
In the case of cylinder B, its radius is r = 8 ft (= 16/2) and its height is h = 8 ft. Then, its volume is:
After the pumping is completed all the liquid in cylinder A, which was full, is placed in cylinder B. If the volume of cylinder B represents 100%, then we need to find what percent, <em>x</em>, represents the volume of cylinder A. We can do this with the help of the next proportion:
Solving for x:
