A small band performed at a local church. They estimated 50 people would attend, but 80 people showed up to watch them play. What is the percent error of the number of people who attended the event?

Answer:62.5% increase

Step-by-step explanation: by getting this answer, I divided by the estimation number of people attending, 50, by how many people did join, 80, and got .625 which converts to 62.5%. Hope this helps :D
