Question

PLEASE HELP THIS IS ON A TEST AND I DON'T PAY ATTENTION Paul received an estimate of $75,000 for an inground pool. After the job was completed, it cost him $93,000. Express the error in this estimate as a percentage.

A.24% error
B.19% error
C.81% error
D.33.3% error

Answer 1

24% hope this helps you out

Answer 2

Answer:24% error

Explanation:

subtract the estimate and the cost

93,000-75,000

=18000

divide the cost and the subtracted sum you just got

=
`(18000)/(75000)`

cross out the common factor

=
`(6)/(25)`

Multiply a number to both the numerator and denominator (easier if you multiply the number that makes the denominator 100)

`(6)/(25) x(4)/(4)`

=
`(24)/(100)`

write the fraction as a percentage

=24%

Hope this helps! Good luck!

Dont worry I used to not pay attention as well
