To find the percentage error, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted time and the actual time, and then divide this difference by the predicted time and multiply by 100.
Predicted time: 50 minutes
Actual time: 46 minutes
Difference: 50 - 46 = 4 minutes
Percentage error = (4 / 50) * 100
Percentage error = 0.08 * 100
Percentage error = 8%
Therefore, the percentage error is 8%.
