The formula to calculate the Final Volume (FV) after a decrease is:
\[ FV = IV \times (1 - \frac{DR}{100}) \]
Where:
Volume decrease refers to the reduction in the space that an object or substance occupies, often as a result of external factors such as pressure, temperature change, or chemical reactions. Understanding volume decrease is important in fields such as chemistry, physics, and engineering, where it is essential to predict how materials will behave under different conditions.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate the Final Volume:
\[ FV = 100 \times (1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 100 \times 0.8 = 80 \, \text{cubic units} \]
This demonstrates that with an initial volume of 100 cubic units and a decrease rate of 20%, the final volume would be 80 cubic units.
