The actual number of bags sold is 266.
The predicted number of bags was 250.
To find the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent error = (Actual value - Predicted value) / Predicted value * 100%
Using the values we have, the percent error is calculated as:
Percent error = (266 - 250) / 250 * 100% = 16/250 * 100%
Converting this fraction to a decimal value, we get:
16/250 = 0.064
Converting the decimal to a percentage, we get:
0.064 * 100% = 6.4%
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6%.
