Question

Maya estimates that the wait time for her favorite roller coaster is 35 minutes. The actual wait time is 55 minutes. What is the percent error of laya's estimate

Answer 1

36.4%

Explanation:

Actual wait time is 55 minutes

Approximate wait time is 35 minutes

Therefore the percent error can be calculated as follows

= 35-55/55 × 100

= 20/55 × 100

= 0.3636 × 100

= 36.4%
