Sam estimated 250 people to come to the banquet but only 198 came. What was the percent error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

20.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

250-198 was how many people he thought would come but didn't.
This is equal to 52 people.
52/250 as a percentage is :
[tex]\frac{52}{250}[/tex]×100%
0.208×100%
20.8%

I think the error about Sam’s estimation is because he rounded it by a tenths excerpt for hundreds. Thats just what i think.
