round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent

The answer is 20%.

Step 1: Subtract the measured distance and the actual distance to calculate the error.

Step 2: Divide the given value by the actual distance and convert it into the percentage.

the actual distance is 612 ft

the measured distance is 735 ft

Step 1: 735 ft - 612 ft = 123 ft

Step 2: 123 ft / 612 ft = 0.20 = 20/100 = 20%
