Question

A survey of Micki's customers showed that 1,800 out of 2,200 of the customers buying carrots would buy organic carrots if the carrots were placed near the front of the store. In the first month, 1,500 of those 2,200 customers actually bought the organic carrots. What was the percent error in the survey estimate of the number of people buying organic carrots?

Answer 1

83.3%

Explanation:

Answer 2

13.63%

Explanation:

The computation of the percent error is shown below;

= (Showing amount - first month amount) ÷ (Actual purchased)

= (1,800 - 1,500) ÷ (2,200)

= (300) ÷ (2,200)

= 13.63%

Hence, the percent error is 13.63%

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct percent error could come and the same is to be applied
