The percent change is 24 % due to reading error
Solution:
Given that a warehouse worker misread the number 75 as 57
To find: percent change due to reading error
Step 1:
Find the difference between the correct number and misread number
75 - 57 = 18
Step 2:
Calculate the percentage change due to reading error
[tex]\text{ Percent change }= \frac{difference\ between\ numbers}{correct\ number} \times 100[/tex]
[tex]Percent\ change= \frac{18}{75} \times 100[/tex]
[tex]\rightarrow \frac{18}{75} \times 100 = 0.24 \times 100 = 24[/tex]
Thus the percent change is 24 % due to reading error
