Shirley thought there were 25 students in her math class, but there were actually 27 students. What is her percent error?

27-25=2

so her absolute error was 2 students

divide the answer by 100 to get the percentage error.

percentage error = absolute error/ 100

2/100=0.02%

therefore her percentage error is 0.02%.
