To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between Layla's prediction and the actual number of occupied seats and then express that difference as a percentage of the actual number of occupied seats.

The actual number of occupied seats = 81,500
Layla's prediction = 79,000

Difference = Actual number - Predicted number = 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500

Now, let's calculate the percent error:
Percent error = (Difference / Actual number) x 100
= (2,500 / 81,500) x 100
= 0.0307 x 100
= 3.07%

Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
