Question

The zoo expected to have 120.00 visitors last year. They actually had 110.000 visitors. Determine the percent of error. (Round to the nearest tenth of a percent, if necessary.)

Answer 1

Given :

The expected visitors = 120,000

And the actual visitors = 110,000

The difference = 120,000 - 110,000 = 10,000

so, the percent of error =

`(10000)/(120000)\cdot100=(1)/(12)\cdot100=8.33_-\%`

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth

So, the error = 8.3%
