Percent Change = New Value − Old Value|Old Value| × 100%
Example: There were 200 customers yesterday, and 240 today:
240 − 200|200|× 100% = 40200 × 100% = 20%
A 20% increase.
Percent Error = |Approximate Value − Exact Value||Exact Value| × 100%
Example: I thought 70 people would turn up to the concert, but in fact 80 did!
|70 − 80||80| × 100% = 1080 × 100% = 12.5%
I was in error by 12.5%
(Without using the absolute value, the error is −12.5%, meaning I under-estimated the value)
The difference between the two is that one states factual calculations and the other is a theoretical guess
Just find the slope between the points
basically find (f(10)-f(7))/(10-7)
f(7)=7^2-3(7)-4=49-21-4=24
f(10)=10^2-3(10)-4=100-30-4=66
slope=(66-24)/(10-7)=42/3=14
average rate of change is 14
1) there were 32 bales added
2) 8 hours
3) 74 cards
4) 11 packs
5) $57
6) ummm...$3?
7) began with 12
8) $5 per candy bar
9) 44 students on each bus
10) $77 spent on baseball gear
5/8 = 2/3 the entire box
Half of 2/3 is 1/3, and 2/3 + 1/3 = 1
So find half of 5/8 and add it to 5/8.
5/8 * 1/2 = 5/16
5/8 + 5/16
Change 5/8 to a fraction with a denominator of 16:
10/16 + 5/16 = 15/16
So the original weight is 15/16 pounds.
