The correct answer is 52%.
To find the percent error, you use the formula:
(percent error) = |(actual value - predicted value) / predicted value| * 100%
Plugging in the values given:
percent error = |($19.75 - $30.00) / $30.00| * 100%
percent error = |(-$10.25) / $30.00| * 100%
percent error = 0.3416666666 * 100%
percent error โ 34.2%
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 52%.
