The percentage error is 11.1%

<h3>What is percentage error?</h3>

Percentage error is simply the difference between the exact and the estimated values as a percentage

The given parameters are:

The percentage error is then calculated as:

$\% E = \frac{50 - 45}{45} \times 100\%$

Evaluate the difference

$\% E = \frac{5}{45} \times 100\%$

So, we have:

$\% E = \frac{500}{45} \%$

$\% E = 11.1\%$

Hence, the percentage error is 11.1%
