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)

Answer 1

To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the estimated weight and the actual weight, and then divide that difference by the actual weight and multiply by 100.

Estimated weight = 60 pounds
Actual weight = 75 pounds

Difference = Actual weight - Estimated weight = 75 - 60 = 15 pounds

Percent error = (Difference / Actual weight) * 100
= (15 / 75) * 100
= 0.2 * 100
= 20%

Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
