Answer:
24%
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A warehouse worker misread the number 75 as 57.
First finding the difference between the correct number and misread number.
[tex]75-57= 18[/tex]
Now, calculating percentage change due to reading error.
Percent change= [tex]\frac{difference\ between\ numbers}{correct\ number} \times 100[/tex]
∴ Percent change= [tex]\frac{18}{75} \times 100[/tex]
Percent change= [tex]0.24\times 100= 24\%[/tex]
Hence, 24% change due to reading error.
