A teacher estimates there are about 600 students at their school. If there are actually 625 students, then what is the percent error of this estimate?

The percent error for this estimate was 4%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Teacher's estimated students = 600

Actual students = 625

625-600 = 25 students are more than the teacher's estimate.

In other words, the measurement error = 25 students

Now the percent error can be calculated by dividing 25 (measuring error) by the actual students.

Percent error = 25/625 = 0.04 which is 4%

Therefore, the percent error for this estimate was 4%.
