Percent error is typically calculated using the formula:

Percent Error = ( ( Observed Value - Expected Value ) / Expected Value ) * 100

In this case, the observed value is $19.75 and the expected value is $30.00.

Using the formula, we can calculate the percent error as follows:

Percent Error = ( ( 19.75 - 30.00 ) / 30.00 ) * 100
Percent Error = ( -10.25 / 30.00 ) * 100
Percent Error = -0.342 * 100
Percent Error = -34.2

Rounding this result to the nearest whole number, we get a percent error of -34%.

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the percent error.

Percent Error = ( ( Observed Value - Expected Value ) / Expected Value ) * 100

Observed Value = $19.75
Expected Value = $30.00

Percent Error = ( ( 19.75 - 30.00 ) / 30.00 ) * 100
Percent Error = ( -10.25 / 30.00 ) * 100
Percent Error = -34.17

Rounding this result to the nearest whole number, we get a percent error of -34%.
