Question

Alyssa estimates that her school's gym can hold 660 students. It actually has 750 seats. What is the percent error of her estimate?

Answer 1

Answer: 13.64%

Explanation:

Alyssa estimates that the gym can hold 660 students even though it can hold 750.

Her percent error is calculated by:

= (Actual seats - Estimated seats) / Estimated seats

= (750 - 660) / 660

= 90 / 660

= 0.1364

= 13.64%
