The percent error of Zookeeper was 10.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for percent error can be given by:

[tex]Percent\ error=\frac{|Predicted\ Value-Exact\ Value|}{Exact\ value}*100[/tex]

Here

Predicted Value = 267 Pounds

Exact Value = 299 Pounds

Putting the values in the formula

[tex]Percent\ error=\frac{|267-299|}{299}*100\\=\frac{|-32|}{299}*100\\=\frac{32}{299}*100\\=0.1070*100\\=10.7\%[/tex]

The percent error of Zookeeper was 10.7%
