You can put this solution on YOUR website! we can calculate % difference at least 2 ways.
.
(22/7 - pi) / pi = .0004025,,,or .04025 %
.
note, used difference divided by correct answer
.
.
.
another way is to just divide the two numbers,, and observe difference from 1
.
(22/7) / pi = 1.0004025,,,,or a difference of .0004025 (or .04025 %) from 1
.
either works
