Christians estimates that she will spend $250 on new summer clothes.She actually spent $350. What is the percent error?Round to the nearest whole percent

Sagot :

The percent error is 40%, given that $250 is the accepted value, which I think it is. 

The equation to solve for percent error is (|accepted value - experimental value|)/accepted value*100= percent error

Substitute numbers, and you get ( |250-350| )/250*100=40%
