A photography club would like to raise money for a local health organization by selling popcorn. The club predicts they need to sell 250 bags of popcorn to reach their goal. At the end of the fundraiser, they sold 266 bags of popcorn and met their goal. What is the percent error? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.(1 point)

Question

$$

Answer 1

\text{Percent error} = \frac{\text{actual value} - \text{predicted value}}{\text{predicted value}} \times 100
$$
\text{Percent error} = \frac{266 - 250}{250} \times 100
\text{Percent error} = \frac{16}{250} \times 100
\text{Percent error} = 0.064 \times 100
\text{Percent error} = 6.4
\text{Percent error} \approx 6
