Question

a hospital bill is estimated to be $480. It ends up actually costing the patient $524.50. What is the percent of error in the bill?

Answer 1

8.48%

Explanation:

Given that,

The estimated bill = $480

Actual costing of the bill = $524.50

We need to find the percent error in the bill. It can be calculated as follows :

`\%=(524.50-480)/(524.50)* 100\\\\\%=8.48\%`

So, the percentage error in the bill is 8.48%.
