Brad expected that a jar will hold 252 grams of powder, but the label shows that it contains 240 grams of powder. Calculate the percent error

4.76%

Step-by-step explanation:

A jar will hold 252 grams of powder

The label shows that its contains 240 grams

Therefore the percent error can be calculated as follows

= 240-252/252 × 100

= -12/252 × 100

= 0.0476 × 100

= 4.76%

Hence the percent error is 4.76%
