You estimate that a jar contains 68 marbles. The actual number of marbles is 60. Find the percent error. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

The percent error is 13.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Estimated amount of marbles in the jar =  68

Actual  number of marbles in the jar =-  60

To Find:

The percent error = ?

Solution:

The Percentage error  = [tex]\frac{Estimated amount - actual amount}{actual amount} \times 100[/tex]

On Substituting the values in the formula

The Percentage error =[tex]\frac{68 -60}{60} \times 100[/tex]

The Percentage error = [tex]\frac{8}{60} \times 100[/tex]

The Percentage error =[tex]0.1333\times 100[/tex]

The Percentage error =13.33%
