Question

Eva estimate the 475 songs will fit on her MP3 player. The actual amount of songs that fit is 380. Find percent error

Answer 1

Answer: 20%

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s use the variable ‘x’ as the percent. You need to make an equation and fill in the blanks. ___ is ____% of ____. So 380 is x% of 475. Now solve the problem. 380/475 = x/100, cross multiply. Now you have 475x = 380 * 100 or 475x = 38000. Now divide each side by 475. Now you have, x = 80%. Now you subtract. 100% - 80%. AND YOU GET 20%
