Q. Carmen participated in a walkathon to raise money for the local library. Before the hour-long event began, Carmen estimated that she would walk 3.53.5 miles, but she ended up walking 44 miles. What is the percent error for Carmen's estimate?\newlineIf necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline____%\%
  1. Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between Carmen's estimated distance and the actual distance she walked.
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (EstimatedActual/Estimated)×100%(|\text{Estimated} - \text{Actual}| / \text{Estimated}) \times 100\%.
  3. Round Percent Error: Round the percent error to the nearest tenth.
