Answer:

<h2>The answer is 0.46 %</h2>

Explanation:

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

$P(\%) = \frac{error}{actual \: \: number} \times 100\% \\$

From the question

actual volume = 8.97 mL

error = 9.01 - 8.97 = 0.04

So we have

$P(\%) = \frac{0.04}{8.97} \times 100 \\ = 0.4459308807...$

We have the final answer as
