Answer:

4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

Here, the estimated value is 250 g, and the actual value is 250 g.

percent error = (estimated value - actual value)/(actual value) × 100%

percent error = (250 g - 240 g)/(240 g) × 100%

percent error = 10/240 × 100%

percent error = 0.041666... × 100%

percent error = 4.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

the real thing is 240 grams.

the estimation of 250 grams was 10 grams off.

how many % is that ?

for that we need to divide these 10 by 1%.

and 1% is 240/100 = 2.4 grams.

10 / 2.4 = 4.166666666... ≈ 4.2%

the percent error is 4.2%

bixtya [17]

Answer:

11%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to fill the missing cells of the table first and are interested in first row for under age 15

1. 152- 65= 87 for the top left cell

2. 165- (87+60)= 18 for car column on same row

now we have number 18 and the total of the first row is 165:

  • 18/165*100%= 10.9%

So the first choice- 11% is the answer

1 - (2n + 9) = 4(1-2)
Vikki [24]

Answer:

n=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1−(2n+9)=4(1−2)

1+−1(2n+9)=4(1−2)

1+−1(2n)+(−1)(9)=4(1−2)

1+−2n+−9=4(1−2)

1+−2n+−9=−4

(−2n)+(1+−9)=−4

−2n+−8=−4

−2n−8=−4

−2n−8+8=−4+8

−2n=4

Divide both sides by -2

-2n/2=4/-2

n=-2
