Answer 2

hi! lol

Answer 3

An error is when you subtract Approximate value from Exact value. Ignore any minus sign.
Example: I estimated 260 people, but 325 came.
260 - 325 = -65, ignore the "-" sign, so my error is 65

"Percentage Error": show the error as a percent of the exact value ... so divide by the exact value and make it a percentage:
65/325 = 0.2 = 20%
