Answer:

The percent error in the price can be calculated using the formula:

percent error = |(experimental value - actual value) / actual value| x 100%

In this case, the experimental value is the final price of $52 and the actual value is the initial price of $50. So we have:

percent error = |(52 - 50) / 50| x 100%

percent error = |2/50| x 100%

percent error = 4%

Therefore, the percent error in the price is 4%.
