Answer:
15.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculate the volume of both containers.
The volume (V) of a cylinder is calculated as
V = πr²h ( r is the radius and h the height )
[tex]V_{A}[/tex] = π × 10² × 11 = 1100π ft³
[tex]V_{B}[/tex] = π × 7² × 19 = 931π ft³
Subtract volume of B from volume of A to find quantity left in A
quantity left in A = 1100π - 931π = 169π ft³
To calculate the percentage left in A after B has been filled
[tex]\frac{left}{full}[/tex] × 100%
= [tex]\frac{169\pi }{1100\pi }[/tex] × 100%
= [tex]\frac{169}{1100}[/tex] × 100%
= 15.4% ( to the nearest tenth )
