Answer: The percent error=16%
Step-by-step explanation:
Estimated amount of liquid in a container = 50 ml
Actual amount of liquid in the container = 43 ml
We know that the percent error = [tex]\frac{|estimated\ value-actual\ value|}{actual\ value}\times100[/tex]
By substituting the values in the formula, we get
The percent error=[tex]\frac{|50-43|}{43}\times100[/tex]
⇒The percent error=[tex]\frac{7}{43}\times100=0.1627\times100[/tex]
⇒The percent error=[tex]16.27\%\ \approx16\%[/tex]
∴ The percent error=16%
