Question

A hospital bill is estimated to be 480.00 it ends up actually costing the patient 524.50 what is the percent of Error in the bill round to the nearest tenths place

Answer 1

8.5%

Step-by-step explanation: 524.50-480 = 44.5 we know that percent means blank (whatever number is a percent) over 100 so lets say 50% that means 50 over 100 so we're gonna put 44.5/100 the fraction line means divided* so we're gonna divide 44.5 by 5.23529412, i know that's a huge number but i found it by dividing 44.5 by 8.5! hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer: 8.5%

Explanation:

The formula used her :

`\text{Percent error }=\frac{|\text{Estimated value-Actual value}|}{\text{Actual value}}*100`

Given : A hospital bill is estimated to be $480.00 it ends up actually costing the patient $524.50 .

Then, the percent of Error in the bill will be :

`\text{Percent error }=\frac{\text{524.50}}*100\\\\=(|-44.5|)/(524.50)*100\\\\=(44.5)/(524.50)*100\\\\=8.48427073403\approx8.5\%`

[Rounded to the nearest tenth]

Hence, the percent of Error in the bill = 8.5%
