Answer:
4.6% (nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
percent error = (|approx - actual| ÷ actual) × 100
percent error = (|16 - 15.3| ÷ 15.3) × 100
= 4.6% (nearest tenth)
[tex] \sf\% \: error = \frac{ |approx - actual| }{actual} \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{ |16 - 15.3| }{15.3} \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{ |0.7| }{15.3} \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{ |0.7| }{ \frac{153}{10} } \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{0.7}{ \frac{153}{10} } \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{ \frac{7}{10} }{ \frac{153}{10} } \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{7 }{ 153 } \times 100[/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error = \frac{7 00}{ 153 } [/tex]
[tex] \tt\% \: error =4.57\%[/tex]
