To find the percent of error, we need to calculate the difference between the estimated and actual count as a percentage of the actual count.
The difference between the estimated and actual count is:
230 - 200 = 30 people
To find the percent of error, we divide the difference by the actual count and multiply it by 100:
(30/200) * 100 = 15%
The percent of error is 15%.
