Alicia estimated her test score to be 85. Her actual score was 80. What was the percent error in Alicia’s estimate? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

first find the difference so:
85 - 80 = 5
now find what percentage of 80 is 5
5/80 = 0.0625
so 6.25% or in your case 6.3%
