Student 4 has the largest percent error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The percent error of a measurement is given by

p=\frac{|x-x_{true}|}{x_{true}}\cdot 100

where

x is the value of the measurement

x_{true} is the actual value

For student 1:

x=49\\x_{true}=50

Percent error:

p=\frac{|49-50|}{50}\cdot 100=0.02\cdot 100=2\%

For student 2:

x=25.5\\x_{true}=25

Percent error:

p=\frac{|25.5-25|}{25.5}\cdot 100=0.0196\cdot 100 = 1.96\%

For student 3:

x=7.5\\x_{true}=8

Percent error:

p=\frac{|7.5-8|}{8}\cdot 100=0.0625\cdot 100 = 6.25\%

For student 4:

x=2.1\\x_{true}=1.6

Percent error:

p=\frac{|2.1-1.6|}{1.6}\cdot 100=0.3125\cdot 100 = 31.25\%

So, student 4 has the largest percent error.

crimeas [40]

Answer:

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12

Step-by-step explanation:

10x+12y=804. (1)

x+y=70. (2)

From (2)

x=70-y

Substitute x=70-y into (1)

10x+12y=804

10(70-y)+12y=804

700-10y+12y=804

700+2y=804

2y=804-700

2y=104

y=104/2

y=52

Recall

x+y=70

x+52=70

x=70-52

x=18

52 tickets cost $10 and 18 tickets cost $12
