Here's how you figure the solution. Take 11.3 (her number) and divide by 10.5 (correct number). You'll come up with 1.0762. (rounded). That means Nicole's number was 107.62% of the actual number, which means she over measured by 7.62%.
Hope this helped.

The percentage error is 100% times the relative error.
relative error = (x'-x)/x
% error = (error/actual value)*100 = ((11.3-10.5)/10.5)*100 = 7.62%

(11.3-10.5)/10.5*100% = 7.6%

hm...... hold on
Ok, back.
7.6%
(11.3 - 10.5)/10.5 = .076 * 100 = 7.6
