To find the percent error, we use the formula:
Percent Error = ((Measured Value - Actual Value) / Actual Value) * 100
In this case, the measured value is $19.75 and the actual value is $30.00. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
Percent Error = ((19.75 - 30.00) / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = (-10.25 / 30.00) * 100
Percent Error = -0.342 * 100
Percent Error = -34.2
Rounding to the nearest whole number, the percent error is -34%.
Therefore, the correct answer is none of the options provided.
that is not an option
Apologies for the confusion. In that case, since none of the provided options match the correct answer, the closest option to the actual percent error would be 1%.
However, it's important to note that the actual percent error is -34%.
