Question

Mrs. Gehrke said Cheddar weighs 16.8 pounds. He actually weighs 15.2 pounds. What is the percent error?

Answer 1

percentage error = 10.53%

Explanation:

percentage error = ((an exegereated value --acutaual value)/actual value)*100

exegereted amount = 16.8 pounds

actual amount = 15.2 pounds

percentage error = ((16.8-15.2)/15.2)*100

= 10.53%

percentage error = 10.53%
