If you round to the nearest inch, the greatest possible error in every side is 0.5 in.

The greatest possible error in calculating the volume would be caused by getting the greatest possible error when measuring all the three sides (with the same sign, all positive or all negative).

Hence, If you make that greatest possible error in all three measurements, you get:

Vol. real = 5 x 10 x 10 = 500
Vol. measured = 5.5 x 10.5 x 10.5 = 606.375
Error = |Real - Measured| = 606.375 - 500 = 106.375
%Error = Error/Real = 106.375 / 500 = 0.21275 = 21.275 %

Rounded to the nearest percent, the greatest possible error is: 21%.

Find the sale price of each item. Round to two decimal places when necessary.
Grace [21]

Answer:

8. $35.10

9. $59.63

10. $13.43

11. $70

12. Take the percent you pay (100-the discount) as a decimal and multiply it by the regular price.

Step-by-step explanation:

For finding the price we pay during a sale, we focus on the percent we pay. If 22% off is the sale, then we spend 78% or 100-22-78. We use this percent byb  multiplying the price with a decimal. We convert percents into decimals by dividing the percent number by 100. For example, 78% divided by 100 becomes 0.78.

8. Percent off is 22%. We pay 78%=0.78.

45(0.78)=$35.10

9. Percent off is 33%. We pay 67%=0.67.

89(0.67)=$59.63

10. Percent off is 44%. We pay 56%=0.56.

23.99(0.56)=$13.43

11. Percent off is 75%. We pay 25%=0.25.

279.99(0.25)=$70

12. See explanation above.
