Question

Tammy predicted that she would sell 300 bottles of water. She actually sold 350 bottles. What is the percent error in the estimate of the number of bottles sold? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

Answer:

16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

predicted value= 300 bottles

Actual value = 350 bottle

Required:

the % error

Step two:

%error= actual- predicted/predicted *100

%error= 350-300/300 *100

%error= 50/300 *100

%error= 0.166*100

%error= 16.67%
