Jim believes he will receive 50 pieces of candy for Halloween. If Jim actually received 75 pieces of candy, what is Jim's percent error? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
To find the percent of error:
1) find the difference of the real value from the expected value: 75 - 50 = 25
2) divide that answer by the expected value: 25 / 50 = 0.50
3) change this number into a percentage: 0.50 ---> 50%
