Question

HELP ME! Deandre estimated the weight of his mountain bike to be 13 kg. The actual weight of his mountain bike was 12.7 kg.

Find the absolute error and the percent error of Deandre's estimate. If necessary, round your answers to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Absolute error = 13-12.7=0.3

13 =100%

12.7=x

x=(12.7)(100)/13

x=97.7

the percentage error is 97.7%
