Alani · Answer 1

the perecent error is 8.26 %

Stanley · Answer 2

Percentage error = 9.43 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error is the estimated number of spaghetti sauce sold minus the actual number of spaghetti sauce sold divided by the actual number of spaghetti sauce sold multiplied by hundred.

Error = estimated number of spaghetti sauce sold - actual number of spaghetti sauce sold

Percentage error = Error/actual number of spaghetti sauce sold * 100

estimated number of spaghetti sauce sold = 325

actual number of spaghetti sauce sold = 297

Error = 325 - 297 = 28

Percentage error = 28/297 * 100

Percentage error = 2800/297

Percentage error = 9.42760942761 %
