if 27 cubes dont have paint, that means they are on the inside of the large cube
this means that the 27 cubes make a smalller cube inside the larger cube with side length of the 3 cubes because 3^3 = 27. Because the cubes around those inner cubes have paint and create a larger cube, the larger cube has a length of 5 cubes. This means 5^3 cubes make up the entire thing = 125 cubes
