Your estimate of the baby pig's weight is 2 pounds. However the actual weight of it is only 16 pounds.
Let's solve for the percentage error of this.
=> 20 - 16 = 4 pounds
=> 4 / 16 = 0.25
=> 0.25 * 100% = 25%
Thus, you added 25% of the baby pig's weight

Answer:

Percentage error is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Estimated weighs of a baby pig = 20 pounds

             Actual weight of the baby pig = 16 pounds

To find : The percentage error

Solution : Formula to find percentage error

[tex]\frac{\text{Estimated weight}- \text{Actual weight}}{\text{Actual weight}}\times 100[/tex]

Putting values in formula,

[tex]=\frac{20-16}{16}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{4}{16}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{1}{4}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]=25%[/tex]

Therefore, Percentage error is 25%.
