Question

3.

Troy planned to make enough ice cream for 15 servings but only made 13
servings. What is the percent error in this situation?

Answer 1

Approximately 13%

Explanation:

Troy meant to make 15, but only made 13, meaning that he was off by 2. To find the percent error here, we will divide how off Troy was by the amount Troy meant to make:

2/15=0.133333333, or approximately 13% (multiply the decimal by 100 to find the percent, then round to the nearest integer.)
