Due to escalating costs of cocoa, management decides to reduce the volume of the bar by 10%. To accomplish this reduction, management decides that the new bar should have the same 3cm thickness, but the length and width of each should be reduced an equal number of centimeters. What should be the dimensions of the new candy bar?\r<BR>\n" );
