Answer:

  25.2 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the box is ...

  V = LWH

  V = (3 in)(4 in)(6 in) = 72 in³

__

65% of the box is filled with a toy, so the remaining 100% -65% = 35% is filled with packing beads. The volume of packing beads required is ...

  0.35 × 72 in³ = 25.2 in³

25.2 in³ of foam packing beads are used to fill each box.
