Q:
Mark estimates that the distance from his house to his school is 15.5 mi. The actual distance is 14.5 mi.To the nearest tenth of a percent, what is the percent error in Mark's estimate? PLEASE ANSWER THIS IN A HURRY
Accepted Solution
A:
So the error is 1 mile
I ask what % of 15.5 = 1
How you write this;
x/100 *15.5 = 1
15.5x = 100
x = 100/15.5
x = 6.451629 round up 6.45
% error is 6.45 %
