Percentage error is calculated by
Percentage error = (estimate-real)/real*100%=(115-82.5)/82.5*100%=28.26%
An over-estimate gives a positive error percent, and an underestimate gives a negative error.
Also, dividing by the real value makes it possible to have more than 100% error.
For example, if real cost is $50, and estimated cost is $150, then error percent is (150-50)/50*100%=200%!

Sum of interior angles in a triangle = 180
2x - 1 + 11x + 3 + 5(x - 4) = 180
13x + 2 + 5x - 20 = 180
18x - 18 = 180
18x = 198
x = 11
