Question

You estimate that there are 48 marbles in a jar. The actual amount is 36 marbles. Find the percent error. Round to the nearest tenth of a percent if necessary.

Answer 1

We know that there are total 12 marbles are not there because 48-36=12. Now, I take:
12÷48=0.25 or 25%. As a result, the percent error is 25%. Hope it help!
