To find the percent error, we need to determine the difference between the predicted amount and the actual amount, and then divide that difference by the predicted amount and multiply by 100.
Predicted amount: $30.00
Actual amount: $19.75
Difference: $30.00 - $19.75 = $10.25
Percent error: ($10.25 / $30.00) * 100 ≈ 34.17%
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 34%. Therefore, the correct answer is not any of the options provided.
