Anita guessed that there were 180 pieces of candy in a jar, they were actually 220 pieces of candy in the jar what was Anita's approximate percent error

Respuesta :

nbloom1104

Answer:

18%

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by making 180/220 into a percentage:

First, simplify the fraction by both parts by 20. This will result in the fraction 9/11.

To make it a percentage, write it as a ratio:

9/11 = x/100

Multiply both sides by 100 and 11:

11x = 900

Divide both sides by 11:

x = 81.818181...

Subtract from 100 to find the error:

18.181818...

So about 18%

Hope that helps! :D
