Answer 1

To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted amount and the actual amount, divide it by the predicted amount, and then multiply by 100 to find the percentage.

Difference = $30.00 - $19.75 = $10.25
Percent Error = (10.25/30.00) * 100

Now, we can calculate the percentage:

Percent Error = (0.3416666666666667) * 100
Percent Error ≈ 34.17

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 34%.
