The answer is 8
6(4)-16=8 :)
1 Move all terms to one side.
{x}^{2}+15x+45=0

+15x+45=0
2 Use the Quadratic Formula.
x=\frac{-15+3\sqrt{5}}{2},\frac{-15-3\sqrt{5}}{2}
x=

The error of percentage is the amount of error over the original amount.
In this case it is 22/95 (not 22 over 77 because 77 is not the original amount they expected to sell.
22/95 = .2315 or 23.2% to the nearest tenth of a percent
Perhaps your teacher just wants 23% as an the approximate error.
