The video tutorial explains how to calculate percent error and percent change using practical examples. It begins with a scenario involving guessing the number of marbles in a jar to illustrate percent error calculation. The formula for percent error is given as the error divided by the actual amount, and the example shows how to convert this to a percentage. The tutorial then shifts to percent change, using a price change example to demonstrate the calculation. The formula for percent change is the new amount minus the original amount, divided by the original amount, and the result is converted to a percentage. The video concludes with a brief mention of related pre-algebra skills.

What is the initial problem presented in the video?

• Calculating the volume of a jar

• Guessing the number of marbles in a jar

• Determining the color of marbles
