Sample 1


Sample 2


Sample 3


Sample 4

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: Sample Four had the least percent error

Answer 2

Answer: Sample 4

Explanation:

We know that the percent error =
`\frac{|\text{actual amount- stated amount}|}{\text{actual amount}}*100`

Sample 1

Percent error
`=(|20.1-20|)/(20.1)*100=(0.1)/(20.1)*100=0.497512437811\%\approx0.50\%`

Sample 2

Percent error
`=(|31.9-32|)/(31.9)*100=(0.1)/(31.9)*100=0.313479623824\%\approx0.31\%`

Sample 3

Percent error
`=(|35.9-36|)/(35.9)*100=(0.1)/(35.9)*100=0.27.85\%\approx0.28\%`

Sample 4

Percent error
`=(|64.1-64|)/(64.1)*100=(0.1)/(64.1)*100=0.1560062\%\approx0.16\%`

We can see Sample 4 had the least percent error .
