Jim's percent error is 9.09%.
What is the percentage error?
The percentage error is given as the difference between the actual value and the estimated value divided by the actual value, multiplied by 100%.
The percentage error is a relative value that compares the actual value and the estimated value to explain any deviations.
Estimated width of wall = 7.5 feet
The actual width of the wall = 8.25 feet
The difference in estimate = (8.25 - 7.5) = 0.75 feet
Percentage Error = (0.75/8.25 x 100) = 9.09%
Thus, we can conclude that Jim made a percentage error of 9.09% in his estimate of the width of the wall.
