Krisha has a chocolate Labrador retriever named Sam. She believes her dog weighs 60 pounds. Sam's actual weight is 75 pounds. Find the percent error. (1 point)

Question

And it's not 3.64

Answer 1

The percent error can be calculated using the formula:

Percent Error = (|Measured Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100

In this case, the measured value is 60 pounds and the actual value is 75 pounds.

Percent Error = (|60 - 75| / 75) * 100

= (15 / 75) * 100

= 0.2 * 100

= 20

Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
