Answer:
= 14.29
Explanation:
First step:
1) The school bag weighs 1.750kg
Corrected to the nearest gram is 2kg
to find the percentage error
2) we subtract one value from the other
= 2 kg - 1.750 kg
= 0.25
3) divide the above answer by the true measurement
= 0.25/ 1.750
= 0.143
4) we multiply the answer by 100
= 0.1429 × 100
= 14.29
