To find the percent error, we need to calculate the difference between the actual number of occupied seats (81,500) and Layla's predicted number of occupied seats (79,000), divide it by the actual number of occupied seats (81,500), and multiply by 100.
Percent Error = [(Actual - Predicted) / Actual] * 100
= [(81,500 - 79,000) / 81,500] * 100
= (2,500 / 81,500) * 100
≈ 0.0307%
Therefore, the percent error of Layla's prediction is approximately 0.0307%.
