2.2 Numbers in Calculations
When we round our answers, we are changing an exact answer into an approximate
error. This introduces error into our calculation. IB expects you to find how much
error there is.
To find percent error, find the difference between the exact answer and the
approximate answer, and then divide by the exact answer. Multiply by 100 to
change to percent.
