To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the predicted value and the actual value, divide it by the actual value, and multiply by 100.
First, let's find the difference between the predicted value and the actual value: 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500.
Next, divide the difference by the actual value: 2,500 / 81,500 = 0.0307.
Finally, multiply by 100 to find the percent: 0.0307 * 100 = 3.07%.
The percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
