Answer:

46.5 %

Explanation:

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

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

From the question

actual number = 37.2 cm³

error = 54.5 cm³ - 37.2 cm³ = 17.3 cm³

We have

[tex]p(\%) = \frac{17.3}{37.2} \times 100 \\ = 46.50537[/tex]

We have the final answer as

46.5 %

Hope this helps you
