Respuesta :

Answer:

36.9%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Percent Error =

[|Approximate value - Actual value|/ Actual value ] × 100

Approximate value = 35 minutes

Actual value = 55.5 minutes

Percent Error =[ |35 - 55.5|/55.5] × 100

Percent Error = |-20.5|/55.5 × 100

Percent Error = 20.5/55.5 × 100

Percent Error = 36.936936937%

Approximately to the nearest tenth = 36.9%
