A photography club would like to raise money for a local health organization by selling popcorn. The club predicts they need to sell 250 bags of popcom to reach their goal. At the end of the fundraiser, they sold 266 bags of popcom and met their goal. What is the percent error? Round the answer to the nearest whole number. (1 point)
To find the percent error, we need to find the difference between the predicted and actual value, divide it by the predicted value, and multiply by 100.
Predicted value = 250
Actual value = 266
Difference = Actual value - Predicted value = 266 - 250 = 16
Percent error = (Difference / Predicted value) * 100 = (16 / 250) * 100 ≈ 6.4
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6.
To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted amount and the actual amount, and then divide that by the predicted amount. Finally, we multiply the result by 100 to get the percentage.
Let's calculate:
Predicted amount = 250 bags
Actual amount = 266 bags
Difference = Actual amount - Predicted amount = 266 - 250 = 16
Percent error = (Difference / Predicted amount) x 100 = (16 / 250) x 100 ≈ 6.4
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6.
To calculate the percent error, you need to find the absolute difference between the predicted value and the actual value, divide it by the predicted value, and then multiply by 100.
In this case, the predicted value of selling popcorn was 250 bags, and the actual value was 266 bags.
The absolute difference between these two values is 266 - 250 = 16.
To find the percent error, you divide the absolute difference by the predicted value and multiply by 100:
(16 / 250) × 100 = 0.064 × 100 = 6.4%.
Rounding this value to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6%.
