Q. When Adele arrived at her dentist appointment, the receptionist told her the wait would be about 2020 minutes. Adele actually waited only 1616 minutes. What is the percent error for the receptionist's estimate?\newlineIf necessary, round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.\newline____%\%
  1. Calculate Difference: Calculate the difference between the estimated time and the actual waiting time.
  2. Calculate Percent Error: Calculate the percent error using the formula: Percent Error = (Estimated ValueActual Value/Actual Value)×100%(|\text{Estimated Value} - \text{Actual Value}| / \text{Actual Value}) \times 100\%.
