Emily estimated that there were 315 students at a soccer game the actual number of students at the game with 350 what was the percent error of her estimate

Respuesta :

How much was she wrong by over the total students. then divide to make the denomentator 100 and the (new) numerator is your answer

For this case we have that the equation to determine the percentage of error is given by:

[tex]E = \frac {| estimated - current |} {current} * 100[/tex]

Therefore, replacing values we have:

[tex]E = \frac {| 315 - 350 |} {350} * 100\\E = \frac {35} {350} * 100\\E = 10[/tex]

Answer:

the percent error of his estimate was:

[tex]E = 10[/tex]%
