A cyclist estimates that he will bike 80 miles this week. He actually bikes 75.5 miles. What is the percent error of the cyclist's estimate? Round the percent to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

The cyclist estimates he will bike 80 miles this week, but he really bikes 75.5 miles.

The error of his estimate in miles can be calculated as the difference between his estimate and the real outcome:

Error = 80 miles - 75.5 miles = 4.5 miles

To calculate the error as a percent, we divide that quantity by the original estimate and multiply by 100%:

Error% = 4.5 / 80 * 100 = 5.625%

Rounding to the nearest hundredth:

The percent error of the cyclist's estimate is 5.63%

y > 1/3x

y < = -x + 4

hope this : )

i think that you should ask google for the answer to that problem because if we don't know it google does
