Answer:

Lisa's percentage of error regarding the weight of the dog was 57.14%.

Explanation:

Given that the German Shepard actually weighs 28 pounds, but Lisa thought the dog weighed 44 pounds, to determine what is the percent error the following calculation must be performed:

28 = 100

44 = X

(44 x 100) / 28 = X

4,400 / 28 = X

157.14 = X

157.14 - 100 = 57.14

Thus, Lisa's percentage of error regarding the weight of the dog was 57.14%.
