A bakery sold 103 cupcakes in one day. The head baker predicted he would sell 83 cupcakes that day. What was the percent error of the baker's prediction?































19.42%





24.10%





20%





80.58%

Answer 1

first find out how much the actual sale increased the prediction in percentage. 103/83*100 and then subtract 100 from it. you get an answer closer to 24.10, so that;s your answer

Answer 2

its wrong

Answer 3

the percentile difference between the actual sale and prediction

Answer 4

@YUMMY123 look at the answer given by a calculator. Its right.

Answer 5

\(percent ~error = \dfrac{predicted~number - real~number}{real~number} \times 100\)

Subtract the real number from the predicted number.
Then divide by the real number.
Then multiply by 100.

Answer 6

\(percent ~error = \dfrac{83 - 103}{103} \times 100\)

Answer 7

^I said the same thing.

Answer 8

@pingdongoll You gave the correct formula in the attachment, but you used it incorrectly.
You switched the numbers. The answer is approx 19%, not approx 24% as you have.
