 You have to find out the percentage difference from 100. 35/200 simplifies to 15.90%.

The percent error in the estimate is [tex]15.9\%[/tex] .

What is Percentage ?

Percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100.

Percentage [tex]=\frac{Error}{Total\ error}[/tex]

We have,

Hot dogs predicted by Al [tex]= 220[/tex]

Error in prediction [tex]=35[/tex]

So,

Percent Error in prediction [tex]=\frac{35}{220}*100[/tex]

                                            [tex]=15.9\%[/tex]

Hence, we can say that the percent error in the estimate is [tex]15.9\%[/tex] .
