Question

in a golf tournament, rory makes a mistake and records 95 strokes on his scorecard. the tournament officials record 90 strokes as his actual score. what is the percent of error in rory’s recorded score, to the nearest hundredth?
%

Explanation:

Step1: Find the error amount

The error is the difference between the recorded score and the actual score. So, \( 95 - 90 = 5 \).

Step2: Use percent error formula

The formula for percent error is \( \frac{\text{Error}}{\text{Actual Value}} \times 100\% \). Here, error is 5 and actual value is 90. So, \( \frac{5}{90} \times 100\% \approx 5.56\% \).

Answer:

\( 5.56\% \)
