You can put this solution on YOUR website!
radius of 4 cm, for the OUTSIDE sphere.
radius of the INSIDE sphere which is hollow, is 3.5 cm.

The actual chocolate material is between the radius 3.5 cm and the 4.0 cm.

Volume for the actual chocolate is %284%2F3%29%28pi%29%284%5E3-3.5%5E3%29, which you can compute.
