The image you sent contains a word problem about a zoologist's estimated weight for a baby elephant. The problem asks to calculate the zoologist's percent error in the estimate.

Answer 1

To calculate the percent error in the zoologist's estimate, you can use the following formula:

\[ \text{Percent Error} = \left( \frac{|\text{Estimated Value} - \text{Actual Value}|}{\text{Actual Value}} \right) \times 100% \]

Where:

• Estimated Value is the value given by the zoologist.
• Actual Value is the true or measured value.

1. Identify the values:

   • Let’s say the estimated weight (Estimated Value) is \(E\) and the actual weight (Actual Value) is \(A\).

2. Calculate the absolute difference: \(|E - A|\)

3. Divide by the actual value: \(\frac{|E - A|}{A}\)

4. Multiply by 100 to get a percentage.

Once you have the specific values for the estimated and actual weights, you can substitute them into the formula to find the percent error. If you can provide those numbers, I can help you with the calculation!
