Answer:
87.5%.
Step-by-step explanation:
This is simple. You thought the kitten weighed 15 pounds but really weighs 8. The first thing you would do is subtract the guess minus the actual.
15 - 8 = 7.
That person was off by 7.
So you would put it as a fraction over the actual weight. 7/8. Then turn your fraction into a decimal and turn that decimal into a percent.
7 divided by 8 = 0.875.
0.875 as a percent is 87.5%.
So the percent error is 87.5%.
