Q. A new craft store, Crazy Crafts, announced its grand opening. On the first day, there were 7575 customers. The manager had expected that 4545 customers would come. What is the percent error for the manager's estimate?\newlineIf necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline____%\%
  1. Calculate Difference: Step 11: Calculate the difference between the actual number of customers and the expected number of customers.\newlineDifference = Actual customersExpected customers\text{Actual customers} - \text{Expected customers}\newlineDifference = 754575 - 45\newlineDifference = 3030
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Step 22: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (DifferenceExpected)×100(\frac{\text{Difference}}{\text{Expected}}) \times 100.\newlinePercent Error = (3045)×100(\frac{30}{45}) \times 100\newlinePercent Error = 0.6667×1000.6667 \times 100\newlinePercent Error = 66.67%66.67\%
