Question

the class wants to know who has the best estimate.
what is the amount of error in miguels estimate?
the amount of error in miguels estimate is marbles.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the error amount

The formula for the amount of error is \(| \text{Estimated amount}-\text{Correct amount} |\).
For Miguel, the estimated amount is \(187\) and the correct amount is \(220\).
So we calculate \(|187 - 220|\).

Step2: Simplify the expression

\(187-220=-33\), and \(|-33| = 33\).

Answer:

\(33\)
