Judah wants to buy a card for his mum

The price he calculated was $4.50

The actual price is $4

Percentage error = real value - actual value / actual value x 100%

Real value = $4.50

Actual value = $4.0

Percentage error = 4.50 - 4.0 / 4 x100%

Percentage error = 0.5 / 4 x 100%

= 0.125 x 100%

= 12.5%

The percentage error is 12.5%
