On percent error, if 48% is the actual and the error rate is 20%, what is the estimate?

The estimate is 57.6 %

Solution:

Given that, On percent error, 48% is the actual and the error rate is 20%

To find: Estimate

Percent error is the difference between a measured and known value, divided by the known value, multiplied by 100%

The formula for percent error is given as:

Here given that,

percent error = 20 %

Actual = 48 %

Estimate = ?

Let "x" be the estimate

Substituting the values we get,

Thus the estimate is 57.6 %
