Answer:
19.8% is the percent error of the baker's prediction.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following in the question:
Total number of cupcakes sold in 1 day = 101
Predicted number of cupcakes sold = 81
We have to find the percent error of the baker's prediction.
Percentage error =
[tex]=\dfrac{\text{Actual value - Predicted value}}{\text{Actual values}}\times 100\%[/tex]
Putting values, we get
[tex]=\dfrac{101-81}{101}\times 100\%\\\\=19.8\%[/tex]
Thus, 19.8% is the percent error of the baker's prediction.
