Timmy estimated he would spend $9 at the candy store. He went a little over-budget and spent $12. What was the percent error?

Respuesta :

Answer :

  • Error (e) = 12 - 9 = $ 3

  • assumed value (a) = $ 9

[tex]\boxed{ \mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{error}{assumed \: value} \times 100}}[/tex]

  • [tex]\mathrm{ \% \: error =\dfrac{3}{9} ×100}[/tex]

  • [tex]\mathrm{ \% \: error = \dfrac{1}{3} ×100}[/tex]

  • [tex]\mathrm{ \% \: error = 33.33 \%}[/tex]
