Charlie guesses that his dog weighs 34. 5 pounds. The dog actually weighs 32. 7 pounds. What is the percent error in Charlie’s g

expeople1 [14]

Percent error is the amount of error to actual value, in percent. The percent error in Charlie’s guess is approximately: Option D: 5.5%

<h3>How to calculate the percent error?</h3>

Suppose the actual value and the estimated values after the measurement are obtained. Then we have:

Error = Actual value - Estimated value

To calculate percent error, we will measure how much percent of actual value, the error is, in the estimated value.

$\rm Percent \: Error = |\dfrac{Error}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\\\Percent \: Error = | \dfrac{\text{(Actual Value - Estimated Value)}}{Actual value}|\times 100 \\$
