Question 1025395: Kate took a test and she got a grade between 80% and 95%, inclusive. What is the greatest percent error she could have? Answer by KMST(5328) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! A fifth grader would tell yoy that obviously, if kates right answers were 80% or more,
she had at most errors,
but to "show your work", you have to pretend it is not obvious,
and write some inequalities. = right answers (as percent of total questions/points) = wrong answers (as percent)
Since (the signs are flipped because we are multiplying times every expression related b those signs) .
Kate's percent error was at most .
