A new roller coaster just opened at Friday Fun Park. When Lisa got in line, a sign said the wait from that point would be 45 minutes. The actual wait was only 35 minutes. What is the percent error for the park sign's estimate?
If necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Answer: 28.6%

Explanation:

To calculate the percent error:

1) Subtract the estimated amount by the actual amount

45-35=10

2) Divide the answer by the actual amount

10/35=0.2857

3) Multiply the answer by 100 to get the percent error

0.2857×100=28.57

Rounded that equals 28.6%

Answer 2

Answer: hope this helps ♡

The percent error for the park sign's estimate is 29%.

Explanation:

45 - 35 = 10

(10 out of 35 because it's the actual amount)

10 of 35 in percentage:

(10 ÷ 35) × 100 =

0.28571..... × 100 =

28.5714.....% ≈ 29%
