The veterinarian weighed Oliver’s new puppy, Boaz, on a defective scale. He weighed 36 pounds. However, Boaz weighs exactly 34.5 pounds. What is the percent of error in measurement of the defective scale to the nearest tenth?
Please help me :)

Respuesta :

new amount - original amount = amount of change

 amount of change/original amount × 100 = percent of change

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

36 - 34.5 = 1.5

1.5/34.5 × 100 = 4%

Answer:

4.3

Step-by-step explanation:

If your rounding to the nearest tenth them its 4.3. Don't listen to any of the other answers. They keep giving wrong answers. I tried to put 4 in because thats what the people on brainly said but it said I was wrong. I clicked show answer and it said 4.3. So everyone reading this...... its 4.3!!
