can someone help pls

lets say volume of P is 100, so volume of Q is 50% more, 100 x 1.5 = 150
volume of R is 50% more than Q

so volume of R = volume of Q x 1.5 = 225

volume of P is 100, volume of R is 225

so P = 100/225 R -> P = 4/9 R

Thx bro

But why do you times it by 1.5

[twilit niche]

50% more

means 50% increase

[warm abyss]

Sorry I’m not sure how to times percentages

[twilit niche]

u cant times percentages

which is why you convert them into decimals

[hot scroll]

convert percentage into decimal (divide by 100) and add it to 1 then that is ur multiplier

[warm abyss]

So how do you get 50% into 1.5

[hot scroll]

or minus it from 1 if it says decrease

[twilit niche]

50% is 0.5

50% increase is 1 + 0.5 -> 1.5

[warm abyss]

Ahh I see

[twilit niche]

50% decrease is 1 - 0.5 -> 0.5

[warm abyss]

Then you do 100* 1.5

[hot scroll]

increasing maths grade boundries 1 step at a time

[warm abyss]

And repeat it to get 225?

[hot scroll]

uh huh

[warm abyss]

Wdym 💀

[twilit niche]

yep

[hot scroll]

or you could do 1.5* 1.5 = 2.25
100 * 2.25 = 225

[twilit niche]

and im not even doing gcses

lol

[hot scroll]

i dont mean anything

[warm abyss]

Ok

Thanks

Wait can I ask 1 more question?

[hot scroll]

yh

go ahwad

[warm abyss]

Why do you assume that the volume of the original sphere (p) is 100cm^3

[twilit niche]

you can assume it to be anything

i just did 100 because its easy to work with

the formal way would be to let the volume of P be x

but i didnt wanna confuse u

[warm abyss]

Ahh ok

It’s fine
