There is 20% error in zookeeper's calculations.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Approx weight of newborn lion = Approx value =2.8 pounds

Exact weight of newborn lion = Exact value = 3.5 pounds

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|approx-exact|}{exact}*100[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|2.8-3.5|}{3.5}*100\\[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{|-0.7|}{3.5}*100[/tex]

Percent error = [tex]\frac{70}{3.5}[/tex]

Percent error = 20%

There is 20% error in zookeeper's calculations.
