The weight of a day-old chick was measured to be 0.21g. If the actual weight of the chick is 0.18g, what was the percentage error in the measurement?

A.

15.5%

B.

18.2%

C.

14.8%

D.

16.7%

Correct Answer: 16.7%

Explanation

Actual weight = 0.18g Error = 0.21g - 0.18g = 0.03g % error = 0.03/0.18×100 = 16.7%

Actual weight = 0.18g Error = 0.21g - 0.18g = 0.03g % error = 0.03/0.18×100 = 16.7%
