Question

The odometer in Mr.Washington car does not work correctly. The odometer recorded 13.2 miles for his last trip to the hardware store, bit he knows the distance traveled is 15 miles. What is the percent error?

Answer 1

It 15 divided by 13.2 which is 1.1%

the 1.8 is wrong because 15- 13.2 gives you the difference in mileage

Answer 2

I think  the answer its 1.8 percent because if you subtract 15-13.2 comes out to be 1.8.
