Question

Tim worked on a math problem 4+3(2+5) Tim should have gotten 25 for an answer, but he got 49 for an answer. What is Tim's percent error? (Be sure to put the percent sign in your answer. )

Answer 1

tim's answered was wrong because he didn't use the order of operation the right way

Explanation:

(the right way) (tim's way)

4+3(2+5) 4+3(2+5)

4+3x 7 7x7

4+21 =49
=25

Answer 2

96% error

Explanation:

Step 1. Subtract the actual value (25) from the estimated value (49)

49-25 = 24

Step 2. Divide the results (-24) with the actual value (25)

24/25 = 0.96

Step 3. Find the percent by multiplying the result (0.96) by 100

0.96 * 100 = 96

Therefore, the percent error was 96%
