A car of cola say that is contains 330m. A food inspector carefully measure the content of a can and find that it contains 341m. calculate the percentage error in the contents.
To calculate the percentage error in the contents, we need to find the difference between the measured amount and the stated amount, and then express it as a percentage of the stated amount.
The stated amount of cola in the can is 330 mL.
The measured amount of cola in the can is 341 mL.
To find the difference, we subtract the stated amount from the measured amount: 341 mL - 330 mL = 11 mL.
To calculate the percentage error, we divide the difference by the stated amount and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage: (11 mL / 330 mL) * 100 = 3.33%.
Therefore, the percentage error in the contents of the can is approximately 3.33%.
