The percent error can be calculated using the formula:
Percent Error = ((Actual Value - Estimated Value) / Actual Value) * 100%
In this case, the actual weight of the dog is 75 pounds, while Krisha estimated it at 60 pounds.
Percent Error = ((75 - 60) / 75) * 100%
Percent Error = (15 / 75) * 100%
Percent Error = 0.2 * 100%
Percent Error = 20%
The percent error is 20%.
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
