Rian is packing toys in boxes. Each box is 3 inches by 4 inches by 6 inches. Each toy takes up 65% of the volume of the box, and the rest of the volume of the box is filled with foam packing beads. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of the foam packing beads used to fill each box

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

25.2 in³

Explanation:

The volume of the box is ...

V = LWH

V = (3 in)(4 in)(6 in) = 72 in³

__

65% of the box is filled with a toy, so the remaining 100% -65% = 35% is filled with packing beads. The volume of packing beads required is ...

0.35 × 72 in³ = 25.2 in³

25.2 in³ of foam packing beads are used to fill each box.
