Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The volume of a sphere is given by the formula:

Since is a constant, the volume is directly proportional to the cube of the radius ().Let the initial radius be .The new radius after an increase becomes .The ratio of new volume to initial volume is:

Calculating :


To find the percentage increase:

Rounding to two decimal places, we get .
