Question

The percent error can be calculated using the formula:
Percent Error = ((|Measured Value - Expected Value|) / Expected Value) * 100
In this case, the measured value is 1.8 kg and the expected value is 1.5 kg.
Percent Error = ((|1.8 - 1.5|) / 1.5) * 100
Percent Error = (0.3 / 1.5) * 100
Percent Error = 0.2 * 100
Percent Error = 20%
Therefore, the percent error in the weight of the cakes is 20%.
Percent Error = ((|Measured Value - Expected Value|) / Expected Value) * 100
In this case, the measured value is 1.8 kg and the expected value is 1.5 kg.
Percent Error = ((|1.8 - 1.5|) / 1.5) * 100
Percent Error = (0.3 / 1.5) * 100
Percent Error = 0.2 * 100
Percent Error = 20%
Therefore, the percent error in the weight of the cakes is 20%.
