Zeke kicked a football 92 yards. Zane estimated it at 90 yards. What percent error did Zane make? If a decimal, round the percent to 2 decimal places.

Zeke had a 2.17% margin of error in his estimation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To set this problem up, you would need to create a proportion. X, the percent of error you're trying to find, should be over 100%. It should look like:

2/92 = X/100

This would translate your terms, the distance the football was kicked, into percentage terms. You should have 2/92 rather than 90/92. 90/92 would give you how accurate Zeke's estimate was instead of is percent of error.

Cross-multiply your numbers:

(2)(100) = 92X

200 = 92X

X = 2.1739

Then, once you round it, your answer would be X = 2.17.
