Keisha has a chocolate Labrador retriever named Sam she believes her dog weighs 60 pounds sams actural weight is 75 pounds find the percent error

Answer 1

To find the percent error, we'll use the formula:

Percent Error = [(Actual Value - Approximate Value) / Actual Value] * 100.

Given that the actual weight of the dog is 75 pounds and Keisha believes it weighs 60 pounds, we can substitute these values into the formula.

Percent Error = [(75 - 60) / 75] * 100
= [15 / 75] * 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20%.

Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
