Container Q, measuring 55 cm by 35 cm by 50 cm, was filled with water to the brim. Water was then poured from Container Q to Container R, which has a base area of 400 cm² until the height of the water level in Container R became thrice that of the water level in Container Q. Find the volume of water in Container R, leaving your answer in cubic cm.
Volume of Container Q
= 55 x 35 x 50
= 96250 cm³ 

Base area of Container Q 
= 55 x 35
= 1925 cm²

Total base areas
= 1925 + 400 + 400 + 400
= 3125 cm² 

Height of the water level in Container Q after pouring
= 96250 ÷ 3125
= 30.8 cm

Height of the water level in Container R after pouring
= 3 x 30.8 
= 92.4 cm

Volume of water in Container R
= 400 x 92.4
= 36960 cm³ 

Answer(s): 36960 cm³
