Question

A person mistakes the price of a hat as $30 instead of $10. ___________ is the percent error

  1. 350%
  2. 200%
  3. 214%
  4. 195%

hintHint:

In this question we will first find the error in the price of hat by substracting the  correct price from the wrong price and then using the error price to find the error %

The correct answer is: 200%


    STEP BY STEP SOLUTION
    Correct price of hat = $10
    Incorrect price of hat = $30
    Error in the price = Incorrect price - Correct price
    Error in the price = 30 - 10 = 20
    Error % = fraction numerator E r r o r space i n space t h e space p r i c e space over denominator C o r r e c t space p r i c e space end fraction cross times 100
    Erroe % = 20 over 10 cross times 100 equals 2 cross times 100 equals 200 straight percent sign
