You get lost and stop at a gas station to ask for directions. The attendant tells you that your destination is "about 1 mile down the road". You drive to your destination, but you notice that, according to your trip odometer, you have driven 1.9 miles. What was the % error in the attendant's distance estimate?
( Note: We will temporarily ignore the sign for error calculations.
The correct answer for each calculation is an integerbetween 0 and 100, inclusive.
Do NOT enter the percent sign (%) or a minus sign (-). )
