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

[__]%

Answer 1

The percent error can be found by using the formula:

Percent Error = ((Actual Value - Estimated Value) / Actual Value) * 100

In this case, the actual weight is 75 pounds and the estimated weight is 60 pounds.

Percent Error = ((75 - 60) / 75) * 100 = (15 / 75) * 100 = 20%

Therefore, the percent error is 20%.
