Step 1 :A food company distributes its tomato soup in two cans of different sizes. For the larger can, the diameter has been increased by $30 \%$, and the height remains the same.
Step 2 :We are asked to find by what percentage does the volume of the can increase from the smaller can to the larger can.
Step 3 :The volume of a cylinder (which is the shape of a can) is given by the formula \(V = \pi r^2 h\), where \(r\) is the radius and \(h\) is the height.
Step 4 :Since the height remains the same, the increase in volume is due to the increase in the square of the radius.
Step 5 :The radius is half of the diameter, so if the diameter increases by $30 \%$, the radius also increases by $30 \%$.
Step 6 :Therefore, the volume increases by \((1+0.3)^2 - 1 = 0.69\) or $69 \%$.
Step 7 :Final Answer: The volume of the can increases by approximately \(\boxed{69\%}\).
