A rancher estimates the weight of the bull to be 2100 lb. The actual weight of the bull is 2400 lb.

Find the percent error.

A. 8.5%

B. 9.5%

C. 12.5%

D. 14.3%

C. 12.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error = (actual weight - estimate) / actual * 100 percent

= (2400-2100) / 2400 * 100 percent

=300/2400 * 100 percent

= 1/8 * 100 percent

=.125 * 100 percent

= 12.5 percent
