To find the percent error, we need to compare Layla's prediction of 79,000 occupied seats to the actual capacity of 81,500 seats.
First, we calculate the absolute difference between the predicted occupancy and the actual capacity: 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500.
Next, we divide the absolute difference by the actual capacity and multiply by 100 to get the percent error: (2,500 / 81,500) * 100 ≈ 3.07.
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
