Answer:

The answer is 39.5 %

Explanation:

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

[tex]P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\[/tex]

actual mass = 24.3

error = 24.3 - 14.7 = 9.6

We have

[tex]p(\%) = \frac{9.6}{24.3} \times 100 \\ = 39.506172839...[/tex]

We have the final answer as

39.5 %

Hope this helps you
