Answer:

  • No, different

Step-by-step explanation:

Last year

Bought 40 sets

Sold 25 sets

  • Error = 25 - 40 = -15
  • Absolute error = | - 15| = 15
  • Percent error =  15/40*100% = 37.5%

This year

Bought 75 sets

Sold 60 sets

  • Error = 60 - 75 = -15
  • Absolute error = |-15| = 15
  • Percent error = 15/75*100% = 20%

We can see absolute errors are same but percent errors are different.

The reason is the referenced numbers are different.
