    First, subtract the estimated tickets that will be sold from the actual tickets sold. 200 - 224 = - 24, ignore the negative sign, so the error is 24. Then, divide the error by the actual ticket sold, 24/224 = 0.1071 and multiply the answer by 100 to get the percentage. So, the percentage error is 10.7%.
