How do you find PERCENT error in calculations
To find the percent error in a calculation, you can use the following formula:
Percent Error = ((|Measured Value - Actual Value|) / |Actual Value|) * 100
Where:
- Measured Value is the value obtained from your calculation
- Actual Value is the true or correct value
Simply plug in the values into the formula and calculate the percent error. If the percent error is positive, it means that the measured value is higher than the actual value. If it is negative, it means that the measured value is lower than the actual value.
