Question

Karl needed to cut 25 inches from a long board. But accidently he cut 24 inches from the long board. What is the percentage error.

Answer 1

You can easily figure this out by dividing 24/25. You get 0.96 then multiply by 100 getting you 96% but because this is the error amount it’s is 4%. (You can also use this method to figure out your grade)
