MathPhys

Step-by-step explanation:

Percent error = |actual − theoretical| / actual × 100%

|42 − 30| / 42 × 100% = 28.6%

Using percentage concepts, it is found that Mrs. Rowan percent error is of 40%.

  • The percent error is given by the extra time afforded multiplied by 100% and divided by the allotted time.

In this problem:

  • Allotted time of 30 minutes.
  • The last student took 42 minutes to complete the exam, thus the extra time afforded was of 12 minutes.

The percent error is:

[tex]P = \frac{12}{30} \times 100\% = 0.4 \times 100\% = 40\%[/tex]

The percent error is of 40%.
