HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! 
The director of a play estimated there were 250 people in the theater to see the play’s performance. The actual number of people who were in the audience was 239.

Which expression can be used to calculate the percent error in the director’s estimate?


Sagot :

the error was 11

percentage error = error divided by actual value x 100%

= 11 / 239 x 100 = 4.6%
239...100%
250...x
--------------
239x=100*250
239x=25000
x=25000:239
x=104,6%

104,6%-100%=4,6%

I hope this helps you. :)
