On a busy day, a vet thought the practice saw 28 cats. The actual number was 24 cats. What is the percent error between the vet's estimate and the actual amount? Round your answer to the nearest hundredths.

Answer:

16.67%

Step-by-step explanation:

A vet taught the practice saw 28 cats

The actual number was 24 cats

Therefore the percent value can be calculated as follows

= approximate value- exact value/exact value × 100

= 28-24/24 × 100

= 4/24 × 100

= 0.16666 × 100

= 16.666

= 16.67 % ( to the nearest hundredth)
