Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided formula and information, we are going to calculate the requested percent of college freshmen in 2010, so we obtain the following:

So since x corresponds to the number of years after 1980, in this case we will replace x with 30, since it is 30 years after 1980, we have:

p=4x/5+25

Replacing:

p=4(30)/5+25

p=120/5+25

p=24+25

p=49

So, as we can see, the model assumes that in 2010 the percentage was 49%, and the real one is 47%. It means that the model overestimates the real value by 2%.
