The bottle cannot go with the package because the percent error is more than 5%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Diameter of bottle on package = approx value = 0.35 inch

Percent error must be less than 5%.

Diameter of one bottle = exact value = 0.33 inch

Percent error = $\frac{|aprrox-exact|}{exact}*100$

Percent error = $\frac{|0.35-0.33|}{0.33}*100=\frac{0.02}{0.33}*100$

Percent error = $\frac{2}{0.33}=6.06\%$

The bottle cannot go with the package because the percent error is more than 5%.
