Question

Sameera predicted that she would sell 38 blankets, but she actually sold 28 blankets. Which expression would find the percent error? Use the table below to help answer the question. Percent Error Item Approximate value Exact value Error Absolute error Ratio Percent error Blankets 38 28 10 10

Answer 1

Solution: We are given:

Predicted Sales by Sameera $=38$

Actual Sales by Sameera $=28$

Now to find the Percent error, we have to use the below formula:

$Percent-Error= \frac{|Predicted-value - Actual-value|}{Actual-value} \times 100 \%$

                       $=\frac{|38-28|}{28} \times 100 \%$

                       $=\frac{10}{28}\times 100 \%$

                       $=35.71 \%$

Therefore, the percent error is $35.71 \%$
