To find the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent Error = (|Actual Value - Predicted Value| / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the actual value is 81,500 and the predicted value is 79,000.
Percent Error = (|81,500 - 79,000| / 81,500) * 100
Percent Error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
Percent Error = 0.0307 * 100
Percent Error = 3.07
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%
