Millie expected 20 friends to show up to her birthday party, but 24 attended. What was her percent error? Round to the nearest percent.

Her percent error was: ≈ 17% (whole percent)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Approximate value = 20 friends

Exact Value = 24 friends

To determine

Percent error

Using the formula to calculate the Percent error

Percent error = | Approximate Value| - Exact Value | / | Exact value | × 100

                       = | 20 - 24 | / | 24 | × 100

                       = | - 4 | / | 24 | × 100

Apply absolute value: |-a| = a,   a>0

                       = 4/24 × 100

                       = 16.67 %

                       ≈ 17% (whole percent)

Thus, her percent error was: ≈ 17% (whole percent)

answer: add the !

step-by-step explanation: then we will answer

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
