By what percentage does the volume of the can increase from the smaller can to the larger can? Round your answer to the nearest percent.
--------------------
Original Volume: (pi)(d/2)^2*h
---------------------
Enlarged Volume: (pi)(1.3d/2)^2(1.3h)
---------------------
Divide Enlarged by Original to get:
=(1.3)^2(1.3)
=(1.3)^3
= 2.197
= 219.7%
