As per the question,

Actual speed of the car = 40 mph.

Speedometer has a percent error of 10%.

The error can be negative as well as positive.

If the error is negative, it means speedometer is showing less speed than actual speed= - 10%

10  % of 40 = 4

speed shown by speedometer = 40 - (10% of 40) = 36 mph

If the error is positive, it means speedometer is showing more speed than actual speed = +10%

speed shown by speedometer = 40 + ( 10% of 40) = 44 mph
