Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
R, radius of whole ball
r, radius of inner ball (just the lead)
Using x as radius, is volume formula for sphere.
THINK: volume of whole ball minus volume of inner ball is the volume of the gold shell. Volume of gold shell equals volume of inner ball.
THAT is help, and I leave the rest of the solution undone but for you to do. Watch carefully that DIAMETER is 2*radius.
