Answer:

Discussed

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage error is the measure of how far is your measured value from the actual value. It give the magnitude of error in form of percentage.

it is calculated as ratio of difference of calculated and the actual value to the actual value multiplied by 100.

If you are repeating the experiment the percent difference in your results will give the measure of how much variation there is in your own techniques, and therefore will give the precision of your experimental procedure.
