What is the percent error from 16 to 12

33.33...% percent error

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent error from 16 to 12, we will be using the "percent error" equation.

difference = percent error x actual

To find the difference, subtract 12 from 16, which is 4.

4 = percent error x actual

The actual is 12 because, because a percent error from 16 to 12, means that the actual was 12 and the estimate was 16 because 16 was to "12"

4 = percent error x 12  (Solve for p, percent error)

4/12 = p

0.33... = p

Multiply 0.33.. by 100, to get the percent error.

0.33... x 100 = 33.33... or 33.33...%

answer: b
