Question

River needs to buy a shade for a window in his house. He measured the width

of the window as 27 inches. The actual measurement is 24 inches. What is the
percent of change or the percent error

Answer 1

Answer: 12.5%

Explanation:

Actual measurement of the window = 24 inches

Measured measurement of the window = 27 inches

We need to find the Rivers percent error. It can be calculated as follows :

% = (|actual value-measured value|)/actual value × 100

%
`=(27-24)/(24) * 100\\\\`

%= 12.5%

So, River's percent error is 12.5%.
