Answer:
Roughly 20.4%
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the formula of percent of error:
| Actual number - Guess / Actual number | (100)
The actual number is 108 and the guessed number is 86:
| 108 - 86 / 108 | (100)
= | 22/108 | (100)
= | 0.2037037037 | (100)
The vertical lines indicate absolute value. This means that anything inside of it must be turned into its positive form. Since it is already positive, just take the signs away:
0.2037037037(100)
≈ 0.204(100)
= 20.4
Turn this into a percent:
20.4%
Martha's percent of error is 20.4%
Please tell me if I was right or not. I really hope this helps!
