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

Let's find the percent error using the formula: percent error = (|actual value - estimated value| / actual value) * 100

actual value = 75 pounds
estimated value = 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%.
