Question

Irina predicted that she would sell 75 books, but she actually sold 95 books. Which expression would find the percent error? Use the table below to help answer the question.

Answer 1

Given:

approximate number = 75

exact number = 95

error = |approximate number - exact number| ÷ exact number

error = |(75-95)| / 95 = |20| / 95 = 0.21

percentage of error = 0.21 x 100% = 21%

Answer 2

There is no image of the table given.

Given:
approximate number = 75
exact number = 95

error = |approximate number - exact number| ÷ exact number
error = |(75-95)| / 95 = |20| / 95 = 0.21

percentage of error = 0.21 x 100% = 21%
