To calculate the percentage error, we need to find the difference between the given age and the actual age, and then express it as a percentage of the actual age.
Given the lady's age as 24 years instead of 28 years, we can calculate the difference like this:
Actual age = 28 years
Given age = 24 years
Difference = Actual age - Given age
Difference = 28 years - 24 years
Difference = 4 years
Now, to find the percentage error, we divide the difference by the actual age and multiply by 100:
Percentage Error = (Difference / Actual age) * 100
Percentage Error = (4 years / 28 years) * 100
Percentage Error = 0.142857 * 100
Percentage Error ≈ 14.28%
Therefore, the percentage error is approximately 14.28%.
