What is the percent error from 8 to 17

53%

Step-by-step explanation: First this problem we will use the "Percent Error" equation to solve.

difference = percent error x actual

First, subtract the values 8 - 17, which equals -9, but find the absolute value of -9, which is 9. Lets plug in 9 to the equation. 17 belongs in the "actual category" since 8 was to 17.

9 = percent error x 17

9/17 = percent error

About 0.53 = percent error

Now, to get your percent, multiply 0.53 x 100, which equals 53.

So the percent error from 8 to 17 is 53%
