If Nintendo had sold 12.2 million games in March and they had thought that they had sold 20.9 million how off was there percent error?

Respuesta :

First let's calculate the absolute error by subtracting both values:

[tex]20.9-12.2=8.7[/tex]

So the absolute error is 8.7 millions.

Now, in order to find the percent error, we just need to divide the absolute error by the number of games sold:

[tex]\frac{8.7}{12.2}=0.7131=71.31\text{\%}[/tex]

So the percent error is 71.31%.
