Question

Jesse estimates the weight of her cat to be 10 pounds. The actual weight of the cat is 13.75.Find the percent of error.

Answer 1

The percent error is 27.27%

Explanation:

I did this by using the formula actual-estimated value/actual value

In this case it would be 3.75/13.75 and I got .2727 and then had to multiply by 100 (to find percent not decimal form) and got 27.27%
