Question:

 A cube of side 5 cm is cut into 1 cm cubes. The percentage increase in volume after such cutting is __________.

Solution:

 No change

Explanation:

Volume of cube = 53 = 125

Now, when the cube is cut into 1 cubic cm, we will get 125 small cubes

Therefore, the volume of the big cube = volume of 125 cm with 1 cubic cm.

It means that, there is no change in the volume.
