A photography club would like to raise money for a local health organization by selling popcorn. The club predicts they need to sell 250 bags of popcorn to reach their goal. At the end of the fundraiser, they sold 266 bags of popcorn and met their goal. What is the percent error? Round the answer to the nearest whole number. (1 point)
The actual value (goal) is 250 bags of popcorn.
The predicted value is also 250 bags of popcorn.
The difference between the actual and predicted value is 266 - 250 = 16 bags of popcorn.
To calculate the percent error, divide the difference by the actual value and multiply by 100%:
Percent Error = (16 / 250) * 100% = 6.4%
Rounding the answer to the nearest whole number, the percent error is 6%.
