To find the percent error of Layla's prediction, we need to calculate the difference between the actual number of occupied seats and her predicted number, and then divide that difference by the actual number of occupied seats.
Actual occupied seats: 81,500
Layla's predicted occupied seats: 79,000
Difference: 81,500 - 79,000 = 2,500
Percent error = (2,500 / 81,500) * 100 = 3.07%
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is 3.07%.
