    18.91 percent

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Percent error equation: Difference or Difference/Actual

    Actual

    The difference is the greater amount minus the smaller.

    111 - 89 = 22

    The actual is 111.

    Now divide 22/111.

    22/111 = 0.189 repeating

    0.189 repeating = about 18.91 percent
