Question

James estimated the total cost of groceries to be $50. The actual cost of the groceries is $65. What is the percent error? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent. Enter your answer in the box.

_____%

Answer 1

To get percent error you take actual-predicted and divide by the actual then multiply by 100 to get the percent.

65-50=15

15/60=0.25

0.25 times 100 =25%

Answer 2

I just took the quiz and it was 23.
