Formula = {(h-h1)/h1)}*100, h = 15, h1 = 12.

= {(15-12)/12}*100,
= (3/12)*100,
= 0.25*100,
= 25%.

15 - 12/12*100 = 25%

Here, 15 - 12/12*100 = 25%.

What's this formula for this?

Formula isn't required.

It's % bulking of sand = what percentage of inundated sand, the bulking happened.

Therefore, = (bulked mass / inundated mass)*100.

= (15-12)*100/12.

= 25%.

The Correct answer is 20% !! 3/15*100 not 3/12!.

The initial depth of sand = 12cm,
The final depth of sand after bulking = 15 cm,
bulked depth = 15-12 =3 cm,
Hence, bulking of moist sand and the initial depth is;
= 3cm/12cm * 100% = 25%.

Moist sand h = 15cm.
Saturated of sand h1 = 12.

Formula is h-h1/hi*100.

= 15-12/15*100.

= 25%.
