Question

An object has a mass of 35.00 grams. On Luixandras balance it weighs 33.95 grams. What is the percent error in this balance?

Answer 1

The answer is 3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error of a certain measurement can be found by using the formula

`P(\%) = (error)/(actual \: \: number) * 100\% \\`

From the question

actual mass = 35 g

error = 35 - 33.95 = 1.05

We have

`p(\%) = (1.05)/(35) * 100 \\`

We have the final answer as

3 %

Hope this helps you
