You estimate that a kitten weighs 15 pounds. The actual weight of the kitten is 8 pounds. Find the percent error.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

87.5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simple. You thought the kitten weighed 15 pounds but really weighs 8. The first thing you would do is subtract the guess minus the actual.

15 - 8 = 7.

That person was off by 7.

So you would put it as a fraction over the actual weight. 7/8. Then turn your fraction into a decimal and turn that decimal into a percent.

7 divided by 8 = 0.875.

0.875 as a percent is 87.5%.

So the percent error is 87.5%.

A small country emits 130,000 kilotons of carbon dioxide per year. In
a recent global agreement, the country agreed to cut its carbon
emissions by 3.1% per year for the next 10 years. In the first year of the
agreement, the country will keep its emissions at 130,000 kilotons and
the emissions will decrease 3.1% in each successive year. How many
total kilotons of carbon dioxide would the country emit over the course
of the 10 year period, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer:1132858

Step-by-step explanation:

The total carbon dioxide the country emit over the course of the 10 year period would be 1,132,858 kilotons.

What is rate of decrease?

The rate of decrease is a constant amount of deduction from a fixed or primary amount.

Here, the carbon dioxide emits by the country per year is 130,000 kilotons.

The rate of decrease of the carbon dioxide emission per year would be 3.1%.

In the 1st year, the carbon dioxide emission = 130,000 kilotons.

In the 2nd year, the carbon dioxide emission = 130,000 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 125,970 kilotons.

In the 3rd year, the carbon dioxide emission = 125,970 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 122,064.93 kilotons.

In the 4th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 122,064.93 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 118,280.92 kilotons.

In the 5th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 118,280.92 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 114,614.21 kilotons.

In the 6th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 114,614.21 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 111,061.17 kilotons.

In the 7th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 111,061.17 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 107,618.27 kilotons.

In the 8th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 107,618.27 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 104,282.1 kilotons.

In the 9th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 104,282.1 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 101,049.35 kilotons.

In the 10th year, the carbon dioxide emission = 101,049.35 × (100-3.1)/ 100 kilotons = 97,916.82 kilotons.

Hence, total carbon dioxide emission by that country over 10 years = (130,000 + 125,970 + 122,064.93 + 118,280.92 + 114,614.21 + 111,061.17 + 107,618.27 + 104,282.1 + 101,049.35 + 97,916.82) kilotons = 1,132,857.77 kilotons ≈ 1,132,858 kilotons.
