2021*1.A chemist weighed an object and found its mass to be 225 grams. The object’s actual mass is 250 grams. What was the chemist’s percent error? Hint: observed- actual x 100 ​

To find the percent error, we use this formula:

P

%

=

∣

∣

∣

e

−

t

t

⋅

100

, where

P

%

is the percent error,

e

is the experimental or calculated value and

t

is the theoretical or known value.

We have 2 known values, so plug them in to get

I hope I helped!

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
