Yes.
To find the percent error, you'll need to use the following formula:
Percent Error = (|Estimated Value - Actual Value| / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the estimated value is 12 pounds, and the actual value is 14 pounds. Let's plug these values into the formula:
Percent Error = (|12 - 14| / 14) * 100
The absolute value of (12 - 14) is 2, so the equation becomes:
Percent Error = (2 / 14) * 100
Now, divide 2 by 14:
Percent Error = 0.142857... * 100
Multiply the decimal by 100:
Percent Error ≈ 14.29%
Therefore, the percent error is approximately 14.29%.
