Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We can find the percent error as below $\%error=\frac{actual \space value-estimated \space value }{actual \space value}\times 100$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\%error=\frac{(3.156\times 10^7)-(\pi\times 10^7)}{3.156\times 10^7}\times 100$ $\%error=0.457\%$
