A student wants to find and compare the volumes of three different metal pieces: P, Q, and R. They use a measuring cylinder containing water and record the volume before and after submerging each metal piece.
The readings are shown in the table below:
| Metal piece | Volume of water before (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) | Volume of water after (cm3\text{cm}^3cm3) |
|---|---|---|
| P | 35 | 82 |
| Q | 25 | 74 |
| R | 42 | 86 |
What is the order of the metal pieces from the largest volume to the smallest volume?
