Question

Camilo estimates the weight of the dog . The veterinarian says that the dog weighs 84 pounds . The percent error in Camillo's estimate is less than 10%

Answer 1

The estimated weight is in the range:

75.6 pounds
`\leq` Weight
`\leq` 92.4 pounds

Explanation:

Since, the maximum error is 10%.

Therefore, the maximum and minimum vales will be 10% more and 10% less than 84 pounds, respectively.

For Maximum Limit:

`Weight_(max)` = (1.1)(84 pounds)

`Weight_(max)` = 92.4 pounds

For Minimum Limit:

`Weight_(min)` = (0.9)(84 pounds)

`Weight_(min)` = 75.6 pounds

Hence, the estimated weight is in the range:

75.6 pounds
`\leq` Weight
`\leq` 92.4 pounds
