Answer: 6.416%

Step-by-step explanation:

The percentage error formula is given by :-

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{|\text{Estimate-Actual}|}{\text{Actual}}\times100

Given : The estimated weight of a substance = 475 mg

The actual weight of the substance = 445 mg

Then,

\%\text{error}=\dfrac{| 475-445|}{445}\times100\\\\=\dfrac{30}{445}\times100=6.74157303371\approx6.416\%

Hence, the percentage error in the first weighing. = 6.416%

Answer:

$4,309.12

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the interest earned is given below:

But before that the amount would be

Amount = Principal × (1 + rate of interest)^number of years

= $6,000 × (1 + 0.07)^8

= $6,000 × 1.07^8

= $10,309.12

Now the interest earned is

= Amount - principal

= $10,309.12 - $6,000

= $4,309.12

Pattern A uses the rule "add 5" and Pattern B uses the rule "add 10".

Pattern A   10  15  20  25  30

Pattern B   20 30 40  50  60

Then the Pattern B is the twice of the Pattern A.

Then the correct option is C.
