Question

Kevin thought the pizza he ordered

would feed 24 people. It only ended up
feeding 19 people. What was his percent error?
percent error?

Answer 1

Answer: 26

Explanation:

(24-19)/19 * 100 = 26.3157894736842

But it said to round to the nearest percent I believe since I got the same question, so 31 isn't above 50 so 26 is just 26 since 31 not above 50, so the answer is just 26

Hope this helps, sorry if im wrong but for me it was right!

Answer 2

20.8333%

Explanation:

It means There was shortage of food, so it ended up with 19 people.

Original Value = 24 people New Value = 19 people

There is a Percentage decrease

%decrease = Original Value - New Value / Original Value × 100%

%decrease = 5/24 × 100%

%decrease = 20.8333 %

So, more 20.8333% would be needed so that 24 people can get the food .
