Answer 1

Answer 2

Percent error is:
(What you got - what you should have got) * 100 / what you should have got

So in this case:
(25-27) * 100 / 27 = 7.407 with the (.407) repeating

Answer 3

7% Percent error is:

(25-27) * 100 / 27 = 7.40 repeating

Answer 4

I have already said that

Answer 5

So what's the percent for my answer?

Answer 6

sigh

Answer 7

7.407

Answer 8

can you find out what percentage that is?

Answer 9

740.7%? @TheHangingTree

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

It doesn't allow me to put all of those numbers in for my answer I don't know why @TheHangingTree

Answer 12

7.407% rounded as the question stated to 7%

Answer 13

That is the answer, I'm not sure why it wouldn't. Where/how are you typing it?

Answer 14

no.. if it were 7.40 with a repeating 0 then it would be 7.4% but in this case there is a 7 after the 0

Answer 15

I don't know what to put it I might just try 7% because it isn't allowing that big of a number

Answer 16

"If necessary, round to the nearest percent." So again 7%.
