PLEASE HELP!!!!!! FAST!!!!!!!!

An Olympic gymnast scored a 14.6 on her vault out of a possible 16.0. What was her percent error?

Answer 1

Percentage wise, her score is a 91%. So, her error would be only 9%

Explanation:

14.6/16=0.91

(the actual answer is 0.9125, I just rounded to the 2nd decimal place)

Answer 2

%8.75 error

Explanation:

14.6/n = 16/100

16n = 1460

n = 91.25

100-91.25 = 8.75
