Answer 1

Given

Andrew thought he could score 25 points on an arcade game but he only scored 17.

To find:

What was Andrew's percent error?

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Andrew thought he could score 25 points on an arcade game but he only scored 17.

Then, Andrew's percent error is,

`\begin{gathered} Percent\text{ }error=\frac{|Actual\text{ }value-Expected\text{ }value|}{|Actual\text{ }value|}*100 \\ =(|17-25|)/(|17|)*100 \\ =(8)/(17)*100 \\ =47\% \end{gathered}`

Hence, Andrew's percent error is 47%.
