Answer:

2% (rounded to nearest percent)

Explanation:

The formula is already given.

From the problem, we can say that:

Actual Value = 13.6

Experimental Value = 13.3

To find percentage error, we use the formula [remember, the numerator of the formula has absolute value, so if we find any negative answer, that would becomes positive value]. lets do this:

Percent Error =
(|13.3-13.6|)/(13.6)*100\\=(|-0.3|)/(13.6)*100\\=(0.3)/(13.6)*100\\=0.0221*100\\=2.21

So, 2.21%

Rounded to nearest percent, that would be 2%
