Answer 1

To calculate the percent error, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the observed value is $21,800 and the expected value is $25,500.

Percent Error = (|21800 - 25500| / 25500) * 100%
= (3700 / 25500) * 100%
= 0.144 * 100%
= 14.4%

Therefore, the percent error is 14.4%.
