Question

58%

1%

52%

2%

Answer 1

To find the percent error, we use the formula:

Percent Error = (|Observed Value - Predicted Value| / Predicted Value) * 100

In this case, the observed value is $19.75 and the predicted value is $30.00.

Percent Error = (|19.75 - 30.00| / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = (|-10.25| / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = (10.25 / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = 0.342 * 100
Percent Error = 34.2

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

So the correct answer is not in the given options.
