    D 90.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the initial radius be r Initial V = 4/3(πι³) Changed radius = 1.30r Changed V = 4/3[π (1.30r)3] = 2.197 × 4/3(πι³) Percent increase in its volume = [{2.197 × 4/3(πr³) - 4/3(πr³)}/4/3(πr³)] × 100  Percent increase in its volume = 119.7%
