Please help me out I've been struggling for 3 days now.

A contractor estimates he will need 18 sheets of drywall and 65 square feet of tile to remodel a bathroom. He actually uses 14 sheets of drywall and 42 square feet of tile. To the nearest percent, what is the difference in the percent errors of the estimates? Show your work.
