Question

The percent of women in veterinary school is 78% if you had guessed 50% what would the percent error be? Answer is 36% pls tell me how

Answer 1

you need to find out how many percent 50 is of 78 and then take that away from 100.
100 - 100(50/78) = 35.89 (36%)

This is because you are finding out how many percent 50 is off 78.

Hope this helps! :)
