Ron estimates that each crate of apples he buys from his supplier has 120 apples. The actual number is 105 apples. Which value is the closest to the percent error?

14%
20%
25%
30%

Answer 1

Answer: !=14%

Explanation:

Answer 2

Find the difference between the two values:

120-105 = 15

Divide the difference by the actual number:

15/105 = 0.143

Multiply by 100 to get the percent:

0.143 x 100 = 14.3% Round to 14%
