Question

Carlos predicts he has 24 dollars in his wallet. If Carlos actually had 33 dollars, what was Carlos' percent error? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence,  Carlos' percent error to nearest tenth of percent is 27.3

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that:

Carlos predicts he has 24 dollars in his wallet.

If Carlos actually had 33 dollars

We have to find the Carlos' percent error

Percent error is given by:

   $\dfrac{error}{actual\ value}\times 100$

Error= 33-24=9

actual value=33

Hence, percent error= $\dfrac{9}{33}\times 100\\ \\=27.27$

Hence,  Carlos' percent error to nearest tenth of percent is 27.3
