The equation to find percent error is

\frac{actual-theoretical}{theoretical}*100

where actual is the value that actually came out (in this case, 11.5 km) and theoretical is the value that was supposed to come out (in this case, 10 km).  Just plug in the numbers and simplify.

\frac{actual-theoretical}{theoretical}*100\\\\\frac{11.5-10}{10}*100=\frac{1.5}{10}*100=15\%\ error

So, the true answer would be 15%.  Apparently, the question you're asking takes 11.5 as the theoretical and the 10 as the actual (which I personally disagree with)

If you plugged in the numbers that way, the answer comes out to 13.04%.  So, the correct answer for your answer choices is c. 13%
