Answer:

10%

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage error in a measurement.

This can be obtained by first getting the error involved. That is calculated by Subtracting the value calculated from the actual value. That is 9.5 - 8.9 = 0.6

The percentage error is thus 0.6/9.5 * 100 = 6%

The value is actually 10% to the nearest tenth of a percent
