Last year the percent of error was lower than this year. The smaller the percent of error, the closer the estimate is to the exact value. Last year, Ron made a better estimate.

Well the year when he bought 168 notebooks he made the better estimate
because 168 is 142 lesser than 310 and 18% is lesser than 24%.
