A university football stadium has 81,500 seats. The stadium is at full capacity on game day. Layla believes only 79,000 seats are occupied. Find the percent error of Layla's prediction. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent

Answer 1

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

Percent Error = ((|81500 - 79000|)/81500) * 100

Percent Error = (2500/81500) * 100

Percent Error = 3.07%

The percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
