Answer 1

The actual number of occupied seats is 81,500. Layla predicted 79,000 occupied seats.

The percent error can be calculated using the formula:

Percent Error = (|Actual Value - Predicted Value| / Actual Value) x 100

Let's calculate:

Percent Error = (|81500 - 79000| / 81500) x 100
Percent Error = (2500 / 81500) x 100
Percent Error ≈ 0.03067 x 100
Percent Error ≈ 3.07

Rounded to the nearest hundredth of a percent, the percent error is -3.07%.

So, the correct answer is -3.07.
