To find the percent error, we need to compare the predicted value (250 bags) with the actual value (266 bags) and calculate the difference.
The difference between the predicted value and the actual value is 266 - 250 = 16.
To find the percent error, divide the difference by the predicted value and multiply by 100:
Percent error = (16 / 250) * 100 = 6.4
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6%.
