Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is

13.84 %

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 = 22.4 L

error = 22.4 - 19.3 = 3.1

The percentage error is

$P(\%) = \frac{3.1}{22.4} \times 100 \\ = 13.839285714...$

We have the final answer as

13.84 %
