Explanation:

Answer 2

Solution: We are given:

Predicted Sales by Sameera
`=38`

Actual Sales by Sameera
`=28`

Now to find the Percent error, we have to use the below formula:

`Percent-Error= (|Predicted-value - Actual-value|)/(Actual-value) * 100 \%`

`=(|38-28|)/(28) * 100 \%`

`=(10)/(28)* 100 \%`

`=35.71 \%`

Therefore, the percent error is
`35.71 \%`
