    5.26%

    step 1: find the absolute value of the difference between the estimate

    and the actual number.

    540,000 - 570,000 = 30,000

    30,000 = 30,000

    step 2: divide this difference by the actual number.

    30,000/570,000 = 0.0526

    step 3: multiply this value by 100 to make it a percent.

    0. 0526 * 100 = 5.26%

    the percent error is 5.26%.
