Problem:

Solve for the actual, true or accepted value in the percent error equation. Note, this has two solution due to the absolute value in the percent error equation. However if percent error is equal to 100 percent or -100 percent, then there is only one calculated solution and one solution of infinity. The infinity comes from the division by zero.
