Final answer:

To find the percent error difference between Angel's estimate and Elijah's estimate, first calculate the percent error for each estimate by comparing the estimated value to the actual value. Then, subtract the percent error for Angel from the percent error for Elijah to find the percent error difference.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent error between Angel's estimate and Elijah's estimate, we can use the formula:

Percent Error = (Actual Value - Estimated Value) / Actual Value x 100

For Elijah, the estimated value is 54 and the actual value is 48.

Percent Error for Elijah = (48 - 54) / 48 x 100 = -12.5%

For Angel, the estimated value is 45 and the actual value is 48.

Percent Error for Angel = (48 - 45) / 48 x 100 = 6.25%

To find how much less Angel's estimate is than Elijah's estimate in terms of percent error, we can subtract the percent error for Angel from the percent error for Elijah.

Percent Era Difference = Percent Error for Elijah - Percent Error for Angel

Percent Era Difference = -12.5% - 6.25% = -18.75%

So, the percent era in Angel's estimate is 18.75% less than Elijah's estimate.
