Open in App

Solution

Given correct number = 3.625.

Wrongly read number = 3.265.

We know that Error = Correct number - wrongly read number

= 3.625 - 3.265

= 0.36.

We know that % Error = Error/Correct number * 100

= 0.36/3.625 * 100

= 0.0993 * 100

= 9.93%.

Therefore the percentage error is 9.93%.
