Brandon poured what he estimated to be 32 ounces of oil into his car’s engine. From the markings on the container, he later determined that he had actually poured 36 ounces. What was the percent error in his estimate

percentage error = 11.11 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Brandon poured w hat he estimated to be 32 ounces of oil into his car's engine . He later determined that he has actually poured 36 ounces from the marking on the container . The percentage error is computed below.

percentage error = approximate value - exact value/exact value × 100

approximate value = 32 ounces

exact value = 36 ounces

percentage error = |32 - 36| / | 36 | × 100

note we used the absolute value to eliminate negative signs

percentage error = 4/36 × 100

percentage error = 400/36

percentage error = 11.11 %
