To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted amount and the actual amount, and then divide by the predicted amount.
The difference between the predicted amount and the actual amount is $30.00 - $19.75 = $10.25.
Dividing $10.25 by $30.00 gives us 0.3416666666...
To convert this into a percentage, we multiply by 100: 0.3416666666... x 100 = 34.1666666...
Rounding to the nearest whole number gives us 34%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 34%.
