Final answer:

To find percent error, compare the experimental value to the accepted value and use the formula ((Experimental Value - Accepted Value) / Accepted Value) × 100%

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the percent error, you need to compare the experimental value to the accepted value. The formula for calculating percent error is:



Percent Error = ((Experimental Value - Accepted Value) / Accepted Value) × 100%



For example, if the accepted value for a measurement is 10 and the experimental value is 9, the percent error would be:



Percent Error = ((9 - 10) / 10) × 100% = -10%
